''{The Poopsmith opens Strong Bad's mailbox and puts a letter in it. He is wearing a postal uniform with a small picture of The Cheat on the shirt. He closes the mailbox and walks away. Birds can be heard in the background. Cut to Strong Bad's Basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's here!

''{cut to The Cheat in the crisper drawer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's here!

''{cut to Strong Sad's room.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here!

''{zoom in to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here! It's fina-l-ly here!

''{zoom out to a full-body shot. Confetti shoots out from off-screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's no more time for expectat—

''{Strong Bad pokes his head in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That was the happiest I've ever been...

''{cut to the mailbox. Strong Bad runs to it and grabs a slip of paper that's in it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've been waiting all dang year for this!

''{zoom into a pamphlet that has the Compy logo on it, also saying "NEW PRODUCTS CATALOG". The year "2009" has been pasted over the year "1989".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The 2009 Compy new products catalog!

''{a picture of a present pops up in a thought bubble above him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' my birthday,

''{a bazooka pops up beside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A candy store,

''{the [[SBLOUNSKCHED]] bar pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and Strong Sad's funeral all wrapped together up in one piece of junk mail!

''{a party blower pops up next and blows. The clouds then disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I can finally find a suitable replacement for the Lappy!

''{Strong Bad opens the catalog. Six laptops are on the first page, in various shades of tan. The text above the laptops say "A rainbow of choices!" The text below it says "Fabulous flourescents!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, look at this new line of brightly colored Lappies! Neon Tan,

''{a laptop of that color appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gray Passion, Rodeo ''{pronounces like "ro-day-oh"}'' Beige, Italian Same, Glittery Taupe.

''{zoom out to a full body shot of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seems like these are more for those stylish ladies and the rat-dogs that— Wait. did they just try to tell me ''same'' is a color?

''{flips the page}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {reading} Our most family-friendly Compy ever,

''{cut to a picture of a very large computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The roomy-vac is a computer for the entire household! Woah! Comes with built-in printer,

''{cut to a zoom-in of a built-in printer with paper feeding out of it. The text "Built-in!" flashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eight-inch monitor,

''{cut to a small monitor with a keyboard in front of it still built into the large computer. The text "Eight-in!" flashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Three bedroom, two-and-a-half bath!

''{a family appears in front of the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a front door for easy access!

''{a front door appears on the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading, monotone}'' The Roomy-Vac is a real powerHOUSE...get it? Oh, you don't? Well, because it's the size of a... Oh, you were kidding? You do get it? Pretty good, huh? No?

''{the price "$240,999.99" is below it but not read. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why would they print that whole exchange? Anyway, what else they got?

''{flips the page.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Do you have problems opening up digital pictures of your grandkids or taking four consecutive steps? Then have we got a Compy for you!

''{cut to a computer similar to the [[Compy 386]], only with a [[Needlepoint]] screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Grampy Aught-Six utilizes easy to read 400-point type!

''{as Strong Bad speaks, the letters "Dear Oldie," appear on the screen two letters at a time, scrolling with a clang sound.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Turning even the shortest email into an unforgettable all-day affair! And you'll never lose track of our new

''{a very large arrow-shaped cursor appears on the screen.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' meat-loaf sized cursor,

''{The cursor transforms into a pixelly meat loaf.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' it's ''shaped'' like meat loaf too!

''{cut to a mouse.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Optional mouse, that is an

''{the mouse transforms into an ''actual'' mouse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''actual'' mouse that will pre-chew your food for you, sold separately. The Grampy Aught-Six.

''{zoom out to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Because Piccadilly's not open, 24 hours.

''{flips the page, followed by a record scratch}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my goodness, graphics. I like the looks of ''{high-pitched}'' thiis!

''{cut to a modern-looking computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Compé, because flat-panel sophistication demands made-up words.

''{zoom into the Compé.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Compy Compé delivers European-sounding flair,

''{Europe flies on the screen with the text "FLAIR" in it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' With southeast Asian-sounding prices.

''{Southeast Asia flies in with a dollar sign in it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My two most favorites!

''{explosion occurs. Cut back to Strong Bad who tosses the catalog in the air.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sooold! I'm gonna put my eighty-thousand pennies in the mail right now!

''{Strong Bad tosses a very large bag onto the mailbox with the word "compé" written on it. There is a single stamp on the right corner.}''

''{yellow text on a black background: 2-4 weeks later...}''

''{cut to Strong Bad sitting at the desk with the Compé sitting on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Compé, that accent mark better not let me down!

''{he then turns it on. The word "compé" appears on the screen with a sigh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So sleek. So-phisticated. So, Compé.

''{The Compé then pulls up a system error that reads the following:}''

<blockquote>FRAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
Your brand new computer is bloke. 
Please prepare to wait on hold 
with tech support for several hours. 
The current tech support smugness 
level is RED.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?

''{Strong Bad screams with frustration. The computer laughs and flashes the words "i joké" on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho. A wise guy, eh? I think you and me are gonna get along ''just fine'', Compé.

''{cut to the picture of the Compé in the catalog.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here! It's here! It's fina-l-ly here!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The Compé's error message, "Fragrant Computer Error. Your brand new computer is bloke." is an example of R/L confusion that often characterizes [[Engrish]].

=== Trivia ===
*When zoomed in, the card on the Decemberween present in Strong Bad's imagination reads:
<blockquote>TO: 
STRONG BAD 
FROM: 
MOM OR DAD</blockquote>
*When Strong Bad throws his bag of eighty-thousand pennies onto the mailbox, several can be seen falling out.

===Remarks===
*Assuming the laptop's screen hinges are facing upward, when opened, the Compy logo would be upside down.
*The catalog showed six different colored laptops on one page, but five are shown individually.

===Goofs===
*Fluorescent is misspelled in the first page of the catalog.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad mentions a candy store, a [[SBLOUNSKCHED! bar]] appears.
*Strong Bad mentions [[Decemberween]] and [[Strong Sad's Death|Strong Sad's funeral]].
*The Cheat is lying in the [[Crisper Drawer]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad smiling]].
*Strong Bad greeted [[The King of Town]] with "Dear Oldie" in [[Halloween Fairstival]].

*The "sb_snailmail.exe" mailbox first appeared in the email [[other_days]].
*An [[explosion]] is seen when "European Flair" and "Southeast Asian Prices" collide.

===Real World References===
[[File:mailman_compare.png|thumb|Poopsmith dressed as the mailman.]]
*The Poopsmith is dressed as the Postman from [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, except with images of The Cheat on the hat and belt, instead of a rabbit head.

'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', was the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]]. It was originally a small feature introduced in 2001, in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him and ended in 2008 with his 200th sbemail. Although the animations were initially brief, the responses gradually grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], and [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], like [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Hremails]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email will include numerous [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[action figure]], [[japanese cartoon]], and [[isp]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

==Milestones==
Whenever Strong Bad reaches an email milestone, such as 100 or 200, the email will be special or at least some note will be taken. Thus far, five emails have been considered milestones.

*50. [[50 emails]] — Strong Bad checks 50 emails (or attempts to) in honor of it being his 50th email check.
*100. [[flashback]] — The email is done in widescreen. [[Marzipan]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Old Timey Strong Bad]], and [[Limozeen]] congratulate him on his 100th email. Upon the Compy indicating that he has checked 100 emails with a special screen, Strong Bad says "email" 100 times. [[Homestar]] says "Happy 100th birthday, Strong Bad".
*125. [[rock opera]] — features scenes and at least one word from all of Strong Bad's emails.
*150. [[alternate universe]] — Strong Bad goes into many alternate universes featuring alternate versions of himself, which at the end accompany him in a supergroup ballad. Called the "sesquicentennemail".
*200. [[email thunder]] — The email song is a grand fanfare written by [[They Might Be Giants]] and sung by [[The Poopsmith]]. The email also ends with a screen listing all of the emails to date.

Frequently, a "teaser" toon is released a week before a milestone email in order to play off the anticipation for the upcoming milestone. The teaser toons so far have been [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (teasing viewers hoping to view email 100 before it was released); [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (in which Strong Sad tries to convince Strong Bad to check email 150 and writes a proposed storyboard for it); [[Place ya bets!]] (in which [[the Deleteheads]] speculate on what will happen in email 200); and [[Page Load Error]] (in which the Deleteheads camp out at the sbemail200.html URL).

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 229 emails as of [[email thunder]].
*It would take 9 hours, 42 minutes, and 34 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[Secret_Pages_XML_Source#Random_Toon_XML_File|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], and [[redesign]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], and [[retirement|retirement B]], when the Lappy was kidnapped, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.

Talk:Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

Physicsguymonsterman — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:27:14 GMT

Physicsguymonsterman: /* T For Teen */

== Fanstuff Discussion ==

I was the one who originally said this was better left for being on the fanstuff wiki (I put the deleted thing on, but [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] removed it I guess). Anyone else thinks this should be put as fanstuff? Because it's not a part of the official homestarrunner.com site. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:This differs from fanstuff, as this is an official licensed Homestar Runner game (like the long-delayed [[Homestar Runner RPG]] or the appearance of "Trogdor" in [[Guitar Hero]]). Since it is official licensed (and even being "developed" by Videletrix), then this will be documented by the regular Wiki. The same thing would count towards things like [[Strong Bad Gameways]] or any of the [[:Category:Interviews and Public Appearances|live appearances]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yup, exactly right. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Besides, it's mentioned on the official Homestar Runner site! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Game News Soon doesn't direct to anything, so it may not be possible this is the same thing. But whatever. '''Close this mess.''' {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::The news isn't supposed to be revealed in full for another hour and forty-five minutes. Keep your pants on, for real. Anyway, it's fairly obvious that this game and the notice on the site are related. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Info For you! ==

Intrepid editors may find [http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq this page] helpful. It's not 100% done yet but since we're running late we wanted to get something up with more info. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Heyyyyy, the whole site is up now! --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== And you can play too! ==

Too bad this game can't be played by me. Not everyone's good enough to get a Wii. Although the article says it's also for the PC, I highly doubt that will be a reality. It makes me so frustrated when new consoles come out. Especially onces that cost over 200 USD, when I could get something productive (Like Photoshop CS3 Extended) for 320 USD. Which I ''will'' get 'cause I have no Wii. Why not get the wii, you ask? Because I want my damnz photoshop! Been entirely too long since I last had it. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:It will be out for the PC. Guaranteed. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::What retailers will you be distributing to? Target? Wal-Mart? If it's K-Mart, I advise against it. Madison, WI has '''no K-Marts whatsoever'''. Also, will it be good for only Vista? Because I can't switch to Vista, my computer won't allow me to upgrade my BIOS to do so. Besides, dozens upon dozens of users say Vista is crap for Gaming. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::Our first run distribution is almost always through our website as downloads. With Sam & Max, we released the games as downloads and then once the whole season was over we assembled a disc and offered it up free to season subscribers. Not sure if that's what we're doing for Strong Bad (nobody tells me anything fun), but they will be available to download from our site. And no, they won't be Vista only. Our system spec is pretty generous in fact, so it shouldn't require too new and crazy a computer. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you expect people to buy over the Internet only? Or are the downloads free? Because I somewhat despise Internet purchasing. Of course, I do have a Debit Card (Sorry, will never, ever use a Credit Card) if I so need to do an online transaction. But I haven't used the card in over 4 months. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::It sounds like Tabacco answered this in his last post: they'll certainly be available for download, but if that's not an option for you, it's possible that they will be eventually released on disc format. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::Some sites require you to pay for certain downloads though. Like "Adobe Extend." {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::Yep, this game will cost money, just as the exclusive DVD content does through the Homestar Runner store. It's good too; I've often wondered if there was a way for TBC to make some money off of their games! Fans have been able to support them by buying DVDs for a while, so I think this is great. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Still awaiting answer for if we ''have'' to buy over the Internet, or if we can send in check/money orders. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::We also accept Paypal and Wire Transfer. You can use the latter if you like. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::You stil didn't say if I can use check or money order though; I will only use them. If you can't do money order / etc. it's better off not to purchase. Not everyone likes the Internet... I'm sure not liking it anymore... I've been distancing myself from it more and more. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::No, we don't take checks or money order. You sound pretty determined not to purchase, so I'm not sure why you're so insistent on pushing the issue, honestly. I think we can call this closed. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Well, since homestarrunner.com's toons always seems to reference old technology (with the exception of the cheat's computer, and Pom'Pom's technology) it makes sense to allow people to send you checks and money orders. Mind you, checks are not as old as regular legal tender >>; I was originally going to try out this game in the future, but you've made me not want to. Not like it'd support an Intel GFX Card anydangway. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

==New trailer on GT==
Ok so on Gametrailers.com They have a new trailer for it!!! check it out [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32715.html] {{User:Coach B/sig}}
:Actually, that's the same thing as [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gameplay Trailer|this]]. {{User:DevonM/sig}}

== Legal Rampage Issue ==

Transcripts are at the heart of our wiki, allowing us to have a reference guide for Homestarrunner.com and to save us the hassle of sitting through an entire toon to check a line or scene. With this in mind, to what extent will we transcribe the game? I'm against the idea of recording EVERY single line for two reasons: firstly, it would be a massive job to do. Undoubtedly there'll be tens of thousands of lines of dialogue throughout the game and it'll be impossible to find and store them all. The second reason is for legal issues: it seems to be OK to transcribe toons on the website since the transcripts won't significantly affect page views to the website and the toons are free in the first place. This game, on the other hand, will not be: the point of buying and playing the game is to find the dialogue yourself. And I don't want Telltale's lawyers to hit this wiki with a cease-and-desist order if they feel our actions harm the sales of their game. However, I think it'd still be OK to write walkthroughs and post Fun Facts on the game, in a similar manner to other websites. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:A few minor stylistic things aside, I think the best way to "transcribe" this game (I don't think that's the right word) would be entirely similar to [[Thy Dungeonman II]] however, without creating the companion page [[Thy Dungeonman II Messages]]. This system would give us the fun facts and the walk-through and the glitches and the tips and everything else that you would expect from The Wiki, without any of the legal or commercial issues you spoke of. I mean [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] seems to be very involved in The Wiki (at least concerning SBCG4AP), and with Telltale's consent I see no problem making a [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Messages]] page or something of that ilk (but with '''FAR''' fewer syllables). {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 08:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::Exactly; we seem to have plenty of communication with Telltale through [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]], so I'm sure that we can make sure whatever we do is acceptable to them (and TBC). It would be nice to have everything transcribed (transcriptions of game messages aren't a substitute for playing the game, in the same way that you don't forget about watching the cartoons and just read the transcripts - but even more so, as it's interactive), but obviously that depends on their wishes. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 09:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I can't see how there'd be a legal issue *period* if we thoroughly "mapped out" this game. If there *was*, [http://www.gamefaqs.com/ GameFAQs] wouldn't exist. Furthermore, I've seen numerous "Game Scripts" there. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if someone beat us to it. [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/data/945803.html Exhibit A] -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Second. There's stuff on GameFAQs that's [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/file/920182/33006 much more in-depth] than is sane, even for us. Plus, we transcribe DVD-only content all the time, and TBC don't mind. And since TBC are working so close with Telltale, I doubt they'd let them sue us either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I don't think there would be an issue with that sort of thing, but if someone 'offcially' associated with the wiki wants to shoot me an email, I can put them in contact with someone to be sure that it would be cool. There are lawyers lurking 'round every corner, but we generally prefer enabling awesomeness over litigiousness in everything we do at Telltale. Also, for what its worth, each episode will have ... a lot ... of dialog. [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 06:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Related note, what about the Dev Blog! "written" by Strong Bad on the Telltales Games site? Any plans of documenting that on the Wiki? There could be a whole mess of running gags hidden in that... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:That is in fact written by Strong Bad. Well, it's written by [[TBC]], which is close enough, right? :) [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 06:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
::I believe the Dev Blog is not being documented for the [[Talk:SBCG4AP Dev Blog|same]] [[Talk:Strong Sad's Lament#Transcript|reasons]] why [[Strong Sad's Lament]] isn't: that it's just duplicating large chunks of text from the website, that ''"it ''replaces'' the actual site"'' and that it would cross ''"the copyright-infringement line to a degree we should not be able to get away with."''. However, if the posts start being removed or if the website is eventually shut down, backed-up transcripts and images will be added to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
:::The way that the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] is being handled now (summarizing posts, pointing out specific references) is perfectly fine. At the time I wrote that bit, there wasn't a page started to note the contents. I think a similar approach should be used with the games, simply because of the volume of dialog involved, the non-linear nature of the game play, and potential legal issues. Particular pieces (such as openings, previews or set pieces) could be transcribed, proved proper clearances are granted first, but a wholesale transcription would be impractical. Noting references, goofs, etc.? Fair game. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== New gameplay/interview video ==

There's a video [http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/18383 here] showing off some of the gameplay (including [[Snake Boxer V]] footage), as well as an interview with some of the developers (I assume this is new, I didn't see it mentioned on the page anywhere). I think IGN are going to interview TBC about the game tomorrow, but I'm not sure... --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 12:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:On a related note, it looks like the [http://kotaku.com/378793/telltale-games-demos-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-for-wiiware Kotaku] review of the game demo has some more detailed information that was is revealed in the Game Videos piece. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

== External link organization ==

Since it looks like this game will produce a large number of external links (IGN et al. game reviews, material from Telltale, forums), how should we organize them? Traditionally, we've put forum links on the bottom (which in this case would include both Telltale's and ours), and material directly from Telltale at the top. But should we make subsections for each? I'm trying to think of scalability at this point. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

:I think you're right, it will helpful to have them divided up into sub-sections. I liked {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s_Cool_Game_for_Attractive_People&diff=557820&oldid=557810 what you did}}, but I tried {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s_Cool_Game_for_Attractive_People&diff=557824&oldid=557820 reorganizing it a bit differently}}. Not sure if it's optimal yet; maybe we'll have to wait to see what kinds of external links we end up getting as it's released. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

== Screenshots ==

This may sound silly, but how do you accses the screenshots on the Tell Tale site?
:Not silly at all — scroll down to the end of the dev blog, and just below them on the left-hand side of the page are four TV screen-shaped pictures. Click on one of them to bring up the screenshots. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

== question! ==

So will this be available on the Wii Shop Channel under the WiiWare section and can I buy it with Wii points? Becausue if not I can't buy it! --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 20:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, you'll be able to get it off the Wii Shop Channel. Don't worry. It's for both PC and WiiWare. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
::Just curious to find out why you can't buy it. Do you not have a Wii? If that's the case, then disregard my next statement. If you do, Wii Points can be each purchase directly through the Wii or purchasing a Wii Points card at many fine retailers. Hopefully, Telltale will announce how many Wii points each episode will be. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

No I have a Wii. It's just that my parents have this weird thing about using credit cards on sites the don't consider "certified". I told them it's through Nintendo and that this website is TBC's JOB but they're just weirdos. So I could only get it by buying the card. Thanks for the info! --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 00:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

== POM-POMMED?? ==

Did I miss a screenshot/video of Pom Pom? Oh, sure, I count his appearance as likely, but has he actually appeared yet? If not, I think we should remove him from the page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:Pom Pom was among the crowd listening to Strong Bad at the end of [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]. Would that count? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
::No...that doesn't mean he'll appear in the game (I'm sure he will, though). {{User:DevonM/sig}} 19:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Though I put it in an edit summary, I thought I'd better mention it here. Telltale Games currently sells certain HR products, among which are the figurines labeled "Series #1" at the [[Store]]. The description confirms that all nine characters shown are in the game .. and Pom Pom is shown. I quote: "Nine of the characters featured in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" [http://www.telltalegames.com/store/hsrfigurines1]. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm going to be pretty grumpy though if that rules out Homsar, who was in Season 2 Figurines. He is a main character after-all. [[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 13:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::::That need not be the case; it didn't say "All nine". I'd be surprised if Homsar doesn't turn up somewhere. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 23:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== Realease Date ==

Do we know the presise release date of the first installment of the game, or just that it'll be out in June? I know I'm not the only guy who wants it the second it comes out... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

I think we just know it'll be out in June... I assume that they'll give an exact date once we get closer to June though. --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 17:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:The [http://kotaku.com/389429/here-are-your-wiiware-launch-titles dates for WiiWare games are decided entirely by Nintendo], so I'm not sure if Telltale can even give an exact date for the Wii version. The PC version will either have a fixed date, or something like "X days after the Wii version". --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:36, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

== Cost? ==

Any word on what the cost will be yet? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 17:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:The Telltale guys wrote it will be like other episodic games they make. Which means about 9$ (US). {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

== Episode One Info VS the IGN preview ==
Ok, thanks to the preview on the telltale official site, I think we can theorise that the IGN preview actually happens after the scenes in the trailer. 'Homestar Runner invades Strong Bad's house and Bogarts his style.' Of course, it could also be that the trailer scenes are actually a flashback.

Either way, we can't be sure that the game begins with the IGN preview anymore, so I was wondering what we should do about it[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 14:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:I was thinking the same thing. The preview for [[Homestar Ruiner]] seems to take place before Homestar hides in the basement for indecency. From the various reviews, though, it is clear that the preview was still an early build. (For example, the GameCyte review mentions that a plot clue is found under a cardboard box in the middle of the field, but the actual game, the clue location would be more challenging.) I would suspect that Strong Bad going directly from his song to talking to Homestar is a similar splice, and nobody knows what the final sequence will be until it's released in to the wild. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

what is the url for the ign preview? and why isn't it on the wiki? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 19:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
:The IGN videos are listed under Press Releases and Promotional Videos. The first two (GameVideos.com and IGN.com) have the footage you are looking for. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== Mii likey, mii likey! ==

So I noticed Telltale is having a [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-338 contest] to design the H*R characters in Mii form and receive Homestar Ruiner as a gift on their Wii. (For those not in the know, downloads can be paid for by Wiis other than the one receiving it.) What I was wondering is, is this contest worthy of its own article or not? This whole development is so...other sitey...that I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around what's Wikiable and what's not. Opinions? --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 13:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think so, because it's a contest, and we don't normally advertise those here (as far as I know).
::Given that there has never before been an officially [[licensed]] homestar related contest as far5 as i know, that would make it lack of precedent, not that we don't do it. We haven't done it because THEY haven't done it. That being said, is it homestar-related? it is official? yes. therefore, i think maybe we should. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== The King of Town's Castle ==
The King of Town's Castle is listed as a confirmed place, but have we actually seen any videos or screenshots with the King of Town's catstle? {{User:Peter222/sig}}
:No, but the plot of Homestar Ruiner informs that one of the tasks to do will be getting files from the KOT's Castle. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 18:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

== Getting grumpy... ==

So do we know at least around what time of the month it's coming out? Like early June or mid-June or closer to July? Not to sound impatient but... aw screw it. I AM impatient! --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 17:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

:It's been delayed to [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-344 July]. I'm looking forward to it too, but I'm glad they're taking the time to polish it! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== T For Teen ==

Ok we were all surprised it got a t ranking but i bet they TellTale did so on purpose and made the esrb think it was worse than it really was for the moneymaking t rating. and mild suggestive content (if it is not a telltale tall tale) is probably something like saying home run or some other extremely mild euphism. Who agrees? Zelda games do it all the time. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 01:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:Most of the cartoons on the site would get a T rating as well, if the ESRB system is used. I mean, just look at emails like [[lady fan]], [[sisters]], [[dreamail]], [[do over]]... plenty of suggestive themes there (without even mentioning Coach Z's problems), and the Teen Girl Squad comics probably fulfil the requirements for mild cartoon violence. The Poopsmith pretty much covers crude humour. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 09:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::The ESRB ratings are: Early Childhood, Everyone, Everyone 10+, Teen, Mature, Adults Only and Rating Pending. As you can see, Teen is the most suitable rating since the game probably contains "contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language." (The PEGI equivalant is 12+.) Undoubtably, there'll be [[Teen Girl Squad]], references to [[making out]], and maybe some [[whatsit]], [[blood]] and [[crap]]. So I'm assuming TGS is what bumped it up, unless the game contains [[Commandos in the Classroom|''very'' illegal pony fights]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Hopefully, Telltale won't run into the same bottleneck that the Pop developers did while releasing in Europe (the game can be entirely in English, but the manual must be written in every language that can be selected on a PAL Wii's system menu). Also, we'll probably get it on the Friday instead of the Monday, but that's standard for WiiWare. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 04:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Physicsguymonsterman — Mon, 19 May 2008 16:08:36 GMT

Physicsguymonsterman: just Ugly one? what about the the?

==Pinebark==
Without looking too exhaustively into this, what in the heck is '''Pinebark'''? Since the Ugly One listens to it, I'm assuming it's a band. Or perhaps I should look at it literally - it's almost more amusing to imagine the Ugly One listening to a conifer.--[[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 14:21, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Jimmies==
I'm on a '''Trivial Rampage''' today! How many folks out there refer to "sprinkles" as "jimmies" or vice versa? I know there's some debate about this (some say it's a pop/soda regional distinction, some that they're actually two different things), so how about it?--[[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 15:04, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I think it should be noted. I live in the northeastern US, and most folks around here simply say "sprinkles." However, my family refers to the rainbow topping as "sprinkles" and chocolate ones as "jimmies." It's different and confusing. [[User:Teh_Frossty_One|Teh_Frossty_One]]

:Wow, I thought I was the only one who made that particular distinction. Must be a northeast thing. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

== Time for a gallery? ==

I hope I didn't overstep any bounds by uploading colored pictures of the Squad, but I likes the look. And, since The Ugly One got a makeover, I added that, too. Is it time for a gallery? I think the page is looking pretty messy. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 16:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:I think it looks fine like this. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

== Sand? ==

Seriously now. Why is there a wiki link for "sand"? That's like wiki-linking "ocean" or "sky". If you don't know what sand is, you can almost certainly guess by watching the toon. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 20:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:I've been noticing people wiki-linking obvious things too, but this page seems like a magnet for it. I mean, psoriasis is okay, and maybe jimmies, because I did not know what those were, but I think most people know what hygiene, uglyness, and sand are. I almost laughed when I first visited this page. [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] 23:50, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

== Uggs? ==

In the Camp episode, where Cheerleader used the term "Uggs," I was under the impression she was referring both to The Ugly One and What's Her Face, not just The Ugly One. I thought this because Uggs are a type of boot, and Ugg is singular. :D I know this is nit-picky, but it seems like the line referring to the term "Uggs" should be removed.
:No, it's pretty clear it refers to The Ugly One only. She uses it directly to only The Ugly One twice: once one saying who'll bunk with her, and once when telling her to be her wingman. What's Her Face was not even present at the second time. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Ditto==

Does Anyone know what a Ditto exam is? Does it refer to the ditto printer schools use? [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 11:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:I can only assume it is an exam where all the questions are nearly identical to past exams. i.e. a maths exam where they ask the same questions but with differnt numbers. This would not explain the meaning though. In addition to this section of the toon, it should be noted that the text on the "Exam" is in purple, not black. [[User:125.238.9.80|125.238.9.80]] 12:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

:Pretty sure it's a reference to the purple-ink copies made by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_duplicator ditto machine.] Ditto machines are often confused with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimeograph mimeographs.] This would be an ultra low-tech contrast to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scantron Scantron] computer-read multiple choice test.

:I must be old. We used this term to describe an activity sheet that was given to the whole class. Most of the time it was just busy work, but sometimes tests were given from the "teacher's edition" of the textbook for that subject. We called them dittos because they were just mass copies. Of course, I also was a substitute teacher earlier last year, and the middle school kids had no idea what I was talking about when I said "here's a ditto to do", so maybe it's fallen out of common language by now.

:Exactly, it's copies of a worksheet (or test) made on a ditto machine, which is what schools had before copiers and printers got so affordable. The process was kind of like silkscreen printing. The ink was pale purplish-blue. It stank of some weird solvent, and when the pages were fresh they were heavy with an alien dampness.

My remark on the age of the teen girls was deleted. My reasoning is this: If they were thirteen in 2002, then they would have been sixteen in 2005 for the sweet-somethingteen birthday party in TGS 10. It seems that, by intention or happenstance, the teen girls are actually following something of a coherent plotline. I think that pointing out the fact that they would be graduating high school is interesting and worth thinking about, if only because it means that the TGS will fail to qualify for the "T" in their title in a scant year.

:::::::::::Here's how a floating time line works. Things like holidays, birthdays, end of years etc. always happen, but the characters involved do not really change much. Sweet somethingteen implies no specific age. In fact, almost everything in this series has been done without much regard to actual age. It's just generic teenishness. This is the way it's always been in the homestar universe. Since TGS is another arbitrary series within (but outside of) an already floating time, I can see no reason to write down a specific age.
:::::::::::Furthermore, when was it EVER said that they were 13 in 2002? Their age has always been arbitrary. I see no reason to include something that is based on one baseless assumption (that they were 13) and another assumption which goes against the very nature of the series, and indeed, the entire Homestarrunner universe.

:Kind of, but not really.

== The Alfred G. Graebner Memorial High School Handbook of Rules and Regulations ==

Hmmm, someone took out my Real World Reference comparison to this book, but I'm not seeing why in the history or talk. Did I write it with too many spoilers for the book? Or did someone think it's just a coincidence? (I'm quite confident that it merits at least the description 'reminiscent'.)
:Um... what is that? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, here's what I wrote:
*Cheerleader's use of "several religions" as an excuse to evade exercise is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Ellen Conford|The Alfred G. Graebner Memorial High School Handbook of Rules and Regulations]], a novel (later adapted for television) in which one character converts to many different religions in order to skip classes on their various holidays. (The book also mentions dirty P.E. uniforms, used as an excuse to evade exercise in P.E.)
:With all due respect, I highly doubt a couple of 30-year old animators are going to be referencing an Afterschool Special or its original Young Adult novel. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:With equal respect, really? Strong Bad watches a LOT of TV. My pop-culture background is similar to the animators'. I remember ditto sheets and Dixon T's and Apple ][s and all these things. I'm Strong Bad's generation. And I read the book - it's hilariously funny, by the way, and well worth your time if you enjoy TGS. If you had read it, you'd certainly find the "several religions" comment at least "reminiscent" of the book. (If you haven't, how can you judge the similarity?) Personally I think coincidence is a *less* likely reason than deliberate reference for this specific excuse showing up in such a similar context, but how do you figure it's not "reminiscent"?
:But I didn't come here to argue. I thought this was a wiki. I provided some information and I stand by it. Use it or don't; I'm done. (But in any case, do look for the book: it's lots of fun!)
::I never read the book, so I can't tell you if it's a reference or not, but I was written in 1976, according to Wikipedia. TBC could have read it when they were kids. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

But I'm a bit older than 30, too. They could easily have seen it on purpose, if not channel-surfing. And the book was good enough and popular enough to be televised - they could easily have read it.
:::"Against my religion" is really an old joke. I've heard it several times before in various contexts. Example, "I can't tip, it's against my religion." The dirty uniforms may be a reference, just maybe, but they weren't used to get out of class anyway. They're probably just a reference to students' dirty uniforms.

:::Of course "against my religion" is an old joke. What's distinctive here is having *more than one* religion for it to be against. That's the whole point. The uniforms alone don't mean anything, but if the religions line reminds you of the book, other elements of the scene certainly contribute to the resemblance.

== Strong Bad's End Credit Song ==

I'm almost positive i've heard that tune somewhere on the site before. Anyone know what it's based on? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you're thinking of "Tonight is All Right 4 Tonight", from [[Dangeresque 3]]?

:Yeah, I thought of TIAR4T when I first heard the credits. Think it's worth mentioning? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

::Didn't remind me of that at all... {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 03:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
::Seconded on behalf of already downloaded the all right for tonight. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Super Smash Squad? ==

Is it just me, or does the "Scantron vs MimeogWrath" part seem very simular to the titles before fights in the Super Smash Bros. video games? --[[User:ZootyCutie|ZootyCutie]] 21:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:Or even Dead Or Alive, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, King of--*sleeps as he mumbles the rest* {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== WHAT'S HER FACE: I'll go ahead and clean out my locker I 'spooooooooose ==

Did this remind anyone else of a string-bend on guitar? The way the ends of the word stayed where they are while the middle bit moved up and the pitch went up?

== Voice Change ==

I know all a dang y'all noticed thatall the tgs characters sounded different. more like each other and less like them selves? [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 16:05, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

== [[3D Character Variations]] ==
Thanks devon. I didnt have the time for creating the 3d page. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 15:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
No probalo. I'm still workin' on figuring out the other 3D variations, too. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 15:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Great job with the pix. I put Homestar and stro bro's on their pages but i have no time to do the rest hint hint. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 11:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:Done. And thank you. {{User:DevonM/sig}}

Why come you got rid of my vector stro bro in game? [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 11:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The one that actually ''looked'' sort of 3D I kept. The other one was just lines. As far as I know, that's 1 dimensional. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 19:51, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==

Hey, I saw a [[User talk:F123979#Welcome!|fairly old welcome]] from you to another user a bit ago. Just so you're aware, and maybe you already are, we generally don't use the canned welcome template anymore, as all new users get the automatic "First Time Here?" welcome with all the links and whatnot. If you haven't already, take a peek at [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Standards for Welcoming|the welcoming page]]. Crapfully yours, {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
:Oh! Sorry, I didn't know the wiki automatically did that...is that a new feature? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 01:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
::Relatively. It's been a while. [[HRWiki talk:Welcoming committee#Canned welcomes? Buy 2 get 1 free?|Almost a year.]] {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

== Fanstuff ==

Are you still around on the Fanstuff Wiki? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 18:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
:Uh, he posted on his page that he left. {{User:Hrjcm/sig}} 19:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

== Speculation ==

Your edit ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_24&curid=36279&diff=562672&oldid=556750&rcid=520192 here]), while reverted for another reason entirely, was actually completely false. In the Flash file, the elements that make up the designs on Homestar's shirts are clearly visible. And there are time-unlimited trial versions of Flash decompilers out there which (besides being kind of fun) can serve to prevent assumptions like this getting added to the wiki. Give one a try, I think you'll like it. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 03:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:Oops...sorry. I thought because the Fila logo was the only thing that would normally be blurred on TV, or something, that it wasn't actually in the .fla file. Regarding the .swf decompiler, Flash (for one reason or another) won't download on my computer, no matter what. This prevents .swf decompilers (I use to have a couple of free-trial decompilers, but they all expired within 30 days) from even opening post-installation. As for speculation, I'll try to keep that down, or at least post something on the article's talk page concerning it. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 03:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

== Help With Layout of DevonM ==

Okay, I know I'm really not supposed to ask people for help on ''my'' user talk page, but I need help. BAD. [http://devonm.com My site's] lookin' waaaaay to much like H*Runner right now. This is more of a personal question, but I need someone to request some features I can add to make it...less...H*R. And more D*M! Wait — I mean more DevonM! I meant DevonM! {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:I went and looked at it, and you seem to be following the H*R formula with the whole scope of your site. If you can change the layout so it looks more "you" (granted, I don't know you very well), that would help a lot. You could make an interactive main page or call the links different things, possibly dispense with the intro (even though it's fine, it's ''very'' Homestar), and either only reference H*R a little bit or not at all. Putting up a toon or two would get you to know what your site is really about, so you can give it a distinct vibe. Otherwise, very nice website. I hope you do well with it! -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 21:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks! I just went on a lil' skateboard ride to separate my thoughts, and figured out some ideas. But thanks again. I ''will'' probably delete the main page, but maybe not the intro. That took around 30 hours (like, 2 days where I had nothing better to do) to complete. And its also been a goal since I started redesigning the website in late March that there will be some scattered H*R references (and a [http://devonm.com/faq/ few Wikipedia references, too]), but not enough to force the site into a state of parody-ism. The site's gonna need some major clown care. I hope to have it fully redesigned (again |:( ) within a month or so. Thanks again, {{User:DevonM/sig}} 00:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:::No probalo. And when you've [[redesign|redesigned]] your site and have some toons on there, I'd love to check it out! -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 02:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

==My last edit==

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

==Transcript==

''{A "SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as we zoom in on it. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{Music plays in the background. A calendar appears for the month of December, with most of the days crossed out in red X's. December 21st and 22nd (Friday and Saturday) become crossed out, then the camera zooms in on Sunday the 23rd. A title appears: "A new Homestar cartoon written and animated by the Brethren Chaps." This title is crossed out with a red X, and the camera pans to Monday the 24th. Another title appears: "Voices by Matt C. and Missy P." This title is then crossed out, and the camera pans to Tuesday the 25th, which is already labeled "Decemberween". This day is circled in red, and additional words appear, making the title read: "The Best Decemberween Ever". Fade out.}''

''{Fade outside, next to Homestar's house, where it is snowing. The background music continues to play. Homestar walks out of his house wearing a brown hunter's hat. He walks a short distance and behind a brick wall, stopping next to Strong Sad, who is leaning on the wall. The music slowly fades out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sighs twice, with his breath visible. A long pause, and then he sighs again.}''

''' STRONG SAD:''' What's the matter, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Surprised}'' Oh! Strong Sad! I can't decide what to get Strong Bad for Decemberween.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... What do you mean?

''{Cut to a wide shot with Homestar and Strong Sad silhouetted.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I know he's kind of a jerk sometimes, and he says "holy crap" a lot, but I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? People get presents for Decemberween? I always just get locked in the bathtub!

''{Cut to the original shot of both characters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Right. Uh... I gotta go. ''{Homestar dashes off, temporarily leaving a cloud shaped like himself behind.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z and Homestar walking in front of some trees. The trees have signs on them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, Homestar, I'll tell ya. Buying a Decemberween present for Strong Bad is like a great sports play.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me guess. I can't just rush into the score zone.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{stops and turns around}'' Hey, that's right!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{frustrated}'' Coach! That's your answer for everything!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. ''{pauses, then holds up a bottle of blue mouthwash}'' Mouthwarsh? ''{begins gulping mouthwash down}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Marzipan in her house. Marzipan is wearing a green dress instead of her normal purple dress, and she is drawing protest signs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and then he said it was like a great sports play. And I didn't even think that applies to this situation.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's great, Homestar. ''{starts writing on a blank sign: "DEC"}'' Why don't you just get him a shirt? He doesn't seem to have very many of those.

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm pretty sure he enjoys going topless.

''{The camera zooms back out.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you could get him a sponge, or a Jew's harp, or you could make some him some Chex party mix... ''{by now, she has written "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, those are terrible ideas.

''{Zoom in to Homestar's face again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Like, I don't even want to see what you got me this year. ''{chuckles}''

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{turning to Homestar angrily}'' Why don't you go bother somebody else?!

''{She drops her completed sign. Cut back to the original shot of Homestar and Marzipan. The new sign reads: "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now that's a good idea!

''{The background music starts up again. Cut to a silhouette of Homestar walking among some trees, which sway back and forth in the wind. Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, which has lights and holiday decorations all over it. Homestar walks up.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, Homestar, what can I do for you on this fine holiday?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't find a freakin' present for Strong Bad.

'''BUBS:''' Well, you know what Coach Z says...

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed, and leaning back}'' Yes, I know! I know!

''{Zoom back out.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, well, take a look around. I got all types of crazy crap!

''{Zoom in on Homestar again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a NES cartridge: ''Tag Team Wrestling''}'' No... ''{tosses it away, holds up a pair of gold, sparkling oven mitts with "SB" written in cursive letters}'' No... ''{tosses the gloves away, pulls out a Strong Sad voodoo doll with pins sticking out of it}'' Uh, are you allowed to sell this? ''{tosses the doll away, holds up a "Frampton Comes Alive" album with an autograph addressed to Strong Bad}'' No...

''{Cut to a silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand as seen from the side. The items Homestar discarded are lying in a pile behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a rectangular object}'' That's it! This is the perfect present!

''{Cut to a field with snow-covered trees in the background. The camera pans right to show several of the characters opening or exchanging gifts. Strong Mad and The Cheat are the first to appear. The Cheat opens a gift and his head explodes. Marzipan pans into the shot, followed by Coach Z in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opens her gift, a Coach Z scratch n' sniff 2002 calendar}'' Coach Z, this is nasty.

'''COACH Z:''' That's okay. Smell Orctober!

''{Camera continues panning, revealing Strong Bad and Pom Pom, and Homestar standing in the foreground. Strong Bad is wearing yellow earmuffs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up his gift and shakes it}'' Okay, let's see what we got from Homestar here...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Open it! Open it! That one's from me. It took me forever to pick it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opens his gift, which turns out to be a ''Deep Impact'' DVD}'' What?! The ''Deep Impact'' DVD?! You got me this for like the last three years, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! And you liked it so much, I decided to get it for you again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! This is the worst Decemberween ever!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{after Strong Bad says "This is the worst"}'' This is the best Decemberween ever!

''{Cut to black, then fade back in to the field. All of the main characters except Strong Sad and Homsar are gathered together. During each chorus, everyone sings except The Poopsmith and Pom Pom. The Cheat squeaks along with the music, and Coach Z pronounces Decemberween as "Decemberwern".}''

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{Singing to the tune of [[Wikipedia:O Tannenbaum|"O Christmas Tree"]]}'' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween.

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' With bunnies running for their lives,

''{Pan left to The King of Town}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{holding up a bunny on a plate}'' I wish this one was super-sized!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to Strong Sad entering from the right}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-key, a wavering third below}'' What are you guys talking about?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{moves in front of Strong Sad}'' Hey, who the crap let Strong Sad out?

''{Cut back out to the group shot. Strong Sad is now gone.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' I've got all types of crazy crap!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enters the shot from the right}'' I bought Strong Bad a ''Deep Impact''!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z's been drinking Listerine!

''{Music cuts out with a record scratch as Coach Z wobbles and falls face first into the snow. Fade to black.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*When Homestar is talking to Bubs at his concession stand, you can remove some of the Christmas lights and move them around just as in the [[Astro Lite]] game! To help do this, pause the toon by right-clicking and unchecking play.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*A [[Wikipedia:Jew's harp|Jew's harp]] is an ancient Eurasian instrument, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp. Some believe it is called a 'juice harp' because the sound of the words 'juice' and 'Jews' are similar. It should also be noted that some people consider the term Jew's harp offensive, and that the alternatives are generally preferred.

===Trivia===

*This toon marks the start of Strong Sad's voice becoming more "delicate," though some of his "fatigued" voice still remains at this time.
*This toon also marks the completion of Strong Bad's voice not having the Mexican accent (in other words, he sounds more like how he does today).
*The signs on the trees are as follows:
**3% APR!!!
**The Decemberator 2000
**Zero Down!
**[[Cheap as Free]]
**buy me! i'm awesome
**No you're not. I am.
*Marzipan's protest signs are as follows:
**DOWN WITH D'WEEN! ''(two signs)''
**I THINK IT'S TOO COMMERCIALIZED! ''(two signs)''
**DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES
*The signs at Bubs' Concession Stand are:
**Concessions By Bubs
**ALL TYPES OF CRAZY CRAP
**WE "GOT" THE GOODS
**decem-berween stuff
*Among the items Homestar finds at Bubs' is a copy of the [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]''. The game's teams were called "The Ricky Fighters" and "The Strong Bads". This game is where Strong Bad got his name.
*This is the first cartoon where [[Decemberween]] is mentioned by its real name.
*Homestar says that he thinks that if he gets Strong Bad "the perfect present, he just might like [Homestar] '''again'''". This suggests that Homestar and Strong Bad may have once been friends.

===Remarks===

*[[A Holiday Greeting]] had the same page title, as well as the same intro and loading screen.
*This cartoon seems to have been made during a transitionary period of sorts: The animation is of the most recent style, but the voices are the type that are associated more with the previous style. Notice, for instance, Homestar's pronunciation of "Strong Bad". Also, Bubs' Concession stand still has its old "Concessions by Bubs" sign, as seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*The calendar at the beginning of the toon only shows 29 days in the month.
*In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Homestar has the shape of a star on his soles. In this toon, his footprints in the snow are just lines.

===Goofs===

*Strong Sad has no arms and has a wider torso while he is singing.
*Strong Bad has no arms before he says "You got me this for like, the last three years, man!"
*During the singing, if you listen closely, you can hear little The Cheat noises, but The Cheat doesn't move until the end.
*When Coach Z and Homestar are walking, the "Buy me, I'm awesome" sign on the Christmas tree is covering up a little bit of the tree in front of it.
*When Homestar and Coach Z are walking along together, they don't leave any footprints in the snow.
*There are various points in this toon when the outline on the back of Homestar's head goes inside his body and out the back of his shirt.
*When Homestar talks, the outline of his hat moves.
*In the calendar scene, the red X over the 23rd disappears when the camera pans to the 24th.
*During the Decemberween song and when Homestar is talking to Bubs, Bubs' orange outline is outside of his green one.
*The King of Town is missing the bottom part of his robe.
* When Homestar is talking to Strong Sad, some of the snowflakes do not reach the ground.

===Inside References===

*The [[oven mitts]] are a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], as is Coach Z's quote regarding the "great sports play".
*Strong Bad and Homestar comment that this is the [[Best/Worst X Ever|Best/Worst Decemberween Ever]].

===Real-World References===

*The introduction, with the spinning Special logo and sound effect, is a reference to the logo and sound that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980s, is viewable [http://youtube.com/watch?v=6W9V9SZPHAY here]. This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]], as well as in [[The Luau]] (in this case, only the music was used).
*This toon contains many references to the "[[Peanuts]]" cartoons by Charles Schulz (particularly "A Charlie Brown Christmas"). For example, Homestar wears a winter hat (similar to Charlie Brown's hat) and walks out of a house, along the low brick wall and sighs. In addition, Strong Sad's arms are drawn in a particular way. Also, one of Marzipan's signs reads that Decemberween is too commercial, which is also similarly referenced in "A Charlie Brown Christmas", in which Charlie Brown thinks his dog Snoopy has gone commercial when he sees him decorating his dog house to enter a "lights and display" contest. Finally, it pays further homage at the end, when all the cast gets together and sings a song (which the Peanuts always did in their holiday specials).
*The page title refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison Bakery]], a sponsor of various cartoon specials on CBS -- including Peanuts -- throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
*The Peter Frampton album Homestar finds at the concession stand is "''[[Wikipedia:Frampton Comes Alive!|Frampton Comes Alive!]]''", and is autographed: "To: Strong Bad, Best Wishes! – P.F."
*[[The Cheat's head exploding]] when he opened a present is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]], in which [[Wikipedia:Jokey Smurf|Jokey Smurf]] would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] (Coach Z's "mouthwarsh") is an over-the-counter mouthwash created by [[Wikipedia:Pfizer|Pfizer Inc.]] With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine, as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the alcohol could take effect.
*''[[Wikipedia:Deep Impact (film)|Deep Impact]]'' is a 1998 science fiction film released by [[Wikipedia:Paramount Pictures|Paramount Pictures]] and [[Wikipedia:DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks Pictures]]. The interrelated stories of the plot describe events which take place surrounding the discovery of the fictional comet "Wolf-Biederman" due to impact Earth, and its subsequent approach to our planet.
*[[Wikipedia:Chex Mix|Chex party mix]] is a common holiday snack containing [[Wikipedia:Chex|Chex]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]], pretzels, spices, etc.
*One of the pieces of 'crazy crap' that Bub hands Homestar (the first one, in particular) is a game cartridge for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

===Fast Forward===

*Strong Sad getting locked in the bathtub, as mentioned in this toon, is later seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*Homestar gives Strong Bad a Deep Impact DVD again in [[Real Live Emails]].
*Coach Z is seen treating [[Listerine]] as an alcoholic drink multiple times after this toon.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The Special fanfare has been changed into a skat remix done by the Chapman Bros. However, the original fanfare can still be heard during the commentary.

===Commentary Transcript===

'''MIKE:''' So, Matt, once again I have a confession to make.

'''MATT:''' What is it, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I think it's probably been five years since I watched this cartoon?

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MIKE:''' Well, it's not been five years because it hasn't been five years since we made it.

'''MATT:''' Is this cartoon even five...

'''MIKE:''' I think we made it in December of 2001. It's been four years, a ''GOOD'' four years.

'''MATT:''' It's a nice little, uh, title sequence, though. I like it.

'''MIKE:''' Calendar.

'''MATT:''' Calendar-style. It was invented...

'''MIKE:''' Classic.

'''MATT:''' Simple...calendar...classic.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' So this beginning is very, very derivative, Mike, of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.

'''MIKE:''' Charlie...?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look at the— a lot of those snow flakes don't even make it to the bottom of the screen! Look at how terrible those snowflake clips are!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. That's laziness.

'''MATT:''' ''{undecipherable gibberish, in the tone of Strong Sad's old voice}''Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Do they have the breath on this one?

'''MATT:''' Uh, he does occasionally. I think he was just now. I think we missed it when he was going "Huuuuh"

'''MIKE:''' ''{sighs}'' Sighing.

'''MATT:''' What do you think the purpose of that wall is?

'''MIKE:''' Looks like it's about maybe ten feet, maybe ten, twelve feet long...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, same with, like, in Peanuts. Like it's— it's just a wall that's independent, by itself, I don't know if it's dividing something from...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, look! It's Strong Sad's old mouth.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah. And his funny arms!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' "The Decemberator 2000" is a great name for a Christmas tree. It's funny that we're making reference to The Yello Dello in this with Coach Z's dialogue, which now, I would, I wanna pretend The Yello Dello maybe never happened.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' No, that's not true. I remember we wrote this, uh, a lot of this driving to and from Ashville visiting with... would that've been...

'''MIKE:''' "All The Real Girls"

'''MATT:''' Yeah, "All The Real Girls". So Marzipan is dressed up in this, like, Decemberween, y'know, attire. She's clearly in the spirit of things, yet she's going to protest it at the same time.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I don't think we've ever seen this wallpaper and that whole background.

'''MATT:''' And that lamp...

'''MIKE:''' Has that lamp shown up?

'''MATT:''' I don't think so.

'''MIKE:''' We usually just see Marzipan's red couch, or her blue couch, and, um, her "Thank You" painting.

'''MATT:''' Right. Oooh! Woosh. ''{wind noises}''

'''MIKE:''' I like that wind. I remember thinking that was ''solid''.

'''MATT:''' There's the old "Concessions by Bubs" sign! I didn't realize, so the rest of his concession stand is still the same. But just the sign is updated.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I thought we did a whole overhaul. The inside, too. You can see the popcorn machine and microwave that he used to have in there.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Now he just has a couple shelves and a sno-cone machine. Is that about it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{regarding all the gifts that Homestar is throwing}'' Wait, Mike! These are all things that would be very appropriate for Strong Bad to have.

'''MIKE:''' It's just... and Strong Bad liking Frampton!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That was short-lived!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' ...short-lived!

'''MATT:''' It's like, "Well, if you happen to see this one part on our website, then maybe..."

'''MATT:''' There's another instance of The Cheat's head exploding. That seems to happen to him a lot.

'''MIKE:''' That's a nice little— we don't do little pans like that. Uh, camera moves.

'''MATT:''' Let's get into camera moves again, you and I.

'''MIKE:''' Let's give a high-five for 2007 being the year of the camera move.

'''MATT:''' That's right. It must be hard to be Homestar's friend or enemy, even, in this case. Yeah, I like that...

'''MIKE:''' Pom Pom's hat's cool.

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad shaking his head there looked pretty good with his like, his earmuffs moved in a little bit of 3-D, there. That was a pretty good take.

'''MIKE:''' I forgot about— look at the King of Town, the bottom of the King of Town's body!

'''MATT:''' It's clearly just an unfinished symbol!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' He should have a liner. The liner of his robe should go around the bottom there. That bunny has only one eye. That's because we traced the bitmap with Streamline, I think. Adobe Streamline.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. That's a useful— that's a program we use a lot these days. Do they still make Streamline?

'''MATT:''' I don't think so. I think we asked that at that FlashForward.

'''MIKE:''' Look! No arms!

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' No aaarrrmms!

'''MIKE:''' No arms! Come on, Matt! Put some arms on that guy!

'''MATT:''' Hey! ''You'' animated this whole end part! If I remember correctly. I made ''some'' of the individual clips of people... Bubs raising his arms...

'''MIKE:''' Why'd you think we could get away with things like...

'''MATT:''' We didn't notice! That's the thing! I don't think it was like, "I don't wanna put arms on him." It was just like, "Hey! Cartoon!"

'''MIKE:''' Did we just not know what the characters looked like, yet, or had it not been established that this guy has arms!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Every time!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah! ''{regarding "Coach Z's been drinking Listerine}'' Eww. Oh, Coach Z.

Homestar Ruiner

Physicsguymonsterman — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:39:31 GMT

Physicsguymonsterman: Its called "fun Facts" non fun random bogus speculation.

[[Image:Strong Bad Bleachers Homestar Ruiner.png|thumb|The scheming wrestleman]]

'''Homestar Ruiner''' is the first episode of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]], with an anticipated release date of June 2008.

While [[Strong Bad]] is going about his usual routine — checking [[Strong Bad Email|emails]], etc. — [[Homestar Runner]] tells him about the [[Contests#Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race|Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race]]. Once Strong Bad hears of Homestar's intention to win this contest, he schemes to snatch victory from Homestar's [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible grasp]].

==Transcript of Episode Trailer==

''{Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are standing on a racetrack near a pool.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Homestar, the time for our ultimate throwdown of total death-tiny has arrived! Put 'em up!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Strong Bad! Are you here to watch the race?

''{A response choice appears above Strong Bad's head. There's only one option, which looks like a trophy. A cursor appears and selects it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A race? You mean like a race-race? Race-race-race?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You haven't heard about the Free Country USA Triannual Race to the End of the Race?! It's only the coolest and most important sporting event in the history of sporting events I'm about to compete in ever!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A race, eh? You know, beating you in a race would be almost as much fun as beating you senseless!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'd like to see you try, Strong Bad! I've been trainin' my twees off for weeks now. Besides, Marzipan has promised me a big victory party after I win!

''{The response choice returns. Now there are two choices, the trophy and one that looks like a party hat. The cursor appears and selects the party hat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Did someone say "Pwahty"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hecks yeah! Marzipan's putting together a ''huge'' party, with floats, and cake jugglers, and balloon manimals, and—

'''STRONG BAD:''' And why was I, Lord High Awesome Party, occasionally known as Strong Bad, not invited?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a sub-whisper}'' Whisperingly, I don't think Marzipan likes you very much.

''{The response choice returns with the same options as before. The cursor closes it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All this race talk has intrigued me. I believe I will postpone your pummeling for now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pummeling?

''{A cell phone ring is heard. Homestar produces a cell phone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hold on. I gotta take this. ''{takes the call and holds the phone to his face}'' Yes, Marzipan? Yes? Yes. Yes. Yes? Noooo! Yes! Yes! ''{closeup on Strong Bad, who looks toward the camera and shakes his head}'' I miss you too, puddin' sack. See you after the race! Bye!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Girlfriend troubles?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not me, bro. Marzipan just wanted my opinion on the decorations. And the cake jugglers. And the ''{suddenly growing annoyed}'' ''{Unintelligible}''. And the bgh bzjt breh!

''{He kicks the phone away in anger. It lands near Coach Z, who can be seen with video equipment. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pardon me. I'm off to the locker room to reacquire my game face.

''{He walks away and the screen fades to a splash screen for Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.}''

:''Where on homestarrunner.com has the main character of this game appeared?''
Is [[Wikipedia:Yo! Noid|Yo! Noid]]. Main character appeared on the alternate Halloween Costumes [[secret page]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:12, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

:Great jorb! Yep, [[Coach Z]] was thinking about dressing up as the Noid for Halloween in 2001, in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], as seen [[HR:halloween01.swf]]

===11 September 2007===
:''Where in a Homestar Runner cartoon have this game's main character's weapons appeared? Hint 1: The main character's name is an anagram of the name of the "makers" of a potential tomb for Strong Bad. Hint 2: A [[:Category:Bands|band]] has composed a song about this entombment.''
I'm not sure if I can take the credit for this one. When comparing this picture to Pokémon with an online friend, he pointed out which game it's '''actually''' from. Anyway, there was a bell in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC) 
PS. Because of the source, I intentionally left the game's title off.
::Yep, you've got the correct game in mind :) I don't think the bell sighting is quite right — if I'm not mistaken, there's not a ''visible'' bell in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]... let me know if I'm wrong though. And let's see if someone else gets the game, and then I'll sort out to whom to give credit. Nice job, Jay and Jay's friend! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, right, that was Homsar's paintbrush. :p He actually has an account here, though he doesn't use it anywhere near as much as I do. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:Um, The Adventures of Bayou Billy? I have absolutely no NES trivia knowledge, just a guess. And Jay, I'm pretty sure Pokemon was never a NES game. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:: You misunderstand. I compared the picture to Pokémon with an online friend, and HE told me which game it REALLY came from, which, of course, wasn't Pokémon. I left off the game's title because I don't know if I should take credit. And no, it's not Bayou Billy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Yup, not Bayou Billy. Keep trying! The hints should be helpful... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

That game is none other than Little Samson, an obscure platformer. A pretty good one, at that. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 03:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:You're so close it hurts! And you're right, this game is great! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I got it, I got it. I just had a little...mental stnank. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
: BTW, this was the friend I mentioned. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::Ooh, I see you {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Trey56&diff=498953&oldid=498952 fixed it}} — yep, it's ''[[Wikipedia:Little Samson|Little Samson]]''. Nice work, GG Crono! Anybody got the correct appearance of his weapons in the Homestar Runner body of work? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::I think Jay did earlier. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::Nope, not quite — Homsar's paintbrush makes a bell sound, but it doesn't count as bells "appearing". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::No, I didn't. Hmm... [[Seasonal Sweaters]]? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:54, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::[[Seasonal Sweaters]] is the one! Good work, GG Crono and Jay; I'll put you on my user page shortly. By the way, the answers to the hints were the following: One of [[your funeral|Strong Bad's possible funerals]] involved preserving his body in a '''mason''' jar (about which [[Taranchula]] wrote a song). So the "makers" of the jar are "masons", an anagram of which is "Samson". Thanks for participating, everyone! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:56, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::By the way, SMB, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] was close, but the type of bell there is a school bell, as opposed to the style that Little Samson wields. Good guess! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Well, like I said earlier, I stink at NES trivia, so my guesses are pure guesses. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:''What Homestar Runner character has dabbled in the occupation of the villain of this game?''
::That's easy. Homestar Runner was a jailer in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::By "occupation", I mean "career". Also, this one's probably straightforward, but what game is it? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::: The game is Donkey Kong Jr.... as for the career of the villian... Bubs? He's done all sorts of crazy crap... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::You've got the game, but your answer to the trivia isn't quite right — there's a more specific career and a Homestar Runner character who did quite a bit of it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::: You know, I always thought he was a plumber, so that'd leave The Buttcrack Plumber... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:26, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::Like Mario, Homestar was a carpenter in Hands On Deck. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Yup! Back in the day, Mario was originally a carpenter. Nice job, guys! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

=== 24 October 2007 ===
:''Where has the name of this game's villain appeared (as text) on homestarrunner.com? Hint: the text is hidden in a recording. Hint 2: The text appears very close to someone with the male form of the name of "a really nice girl".''
::Dracula, the villain of [[Wikipedia:Castlevania II: Simon's Quest|Castlevania II: Simon's Quest]] has been mentioned in [[Malloween Commercial]] :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:::You've got the game right (nice work!), but I'm looking for the place where his name has visually ''appeared'' on homestarrunner.com. Keep try! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Um, [[Count Longardeaux's Book|Count Longardeaux]]? From [[record book]]? Because they both have "Count" in their names? Please? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:::::Nice try! :D But there's a place where the name "Dracula" actually appears in print. Hint: it's deceptively easy... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
The [[Adventure Gamers Interview]]! {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 23:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:Nope — that interview doesn't appear on homestarrunner.com! Keep try! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
does it literally apeear in print on the website? {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 23:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yes sir! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
::[[Malloween Commercial]]? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:::No, however, one of the scenes in that toon is set in the same location as the one where Dracula's name appears... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't even notice that was the toon Loafing guessed. Sorry to waste your valuable time, {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:It's okay — my time is just like water. Trey56's time — why ever drink again? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
::I know it's when Marshie pops up form the ground in front of the tombstone, but I can't think, or even find, where it says "Dracula." {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 02:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

after looking at the image, i think the picture is from castlevania 1. am i rite? if not, back 2 jamesnintendonerd. {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 01:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

:Very close — it's ''Castlevania II: Simon's Quest'' (Loafing got the game above). But the associated trivia question is still up for grabs, if you still want to try that one!

:By the way, the Angry Video Game Nerd (I think his Youtube account is jamesnintendonerd) did a review of this game. Thanks for participating! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
[[japanese cartoon]]! Simon (male form of Simone, who is a really nice girl) is standing in front of Dracula's tomb (a cemetary was shown in Malloween Commercial) in the NES endings Easter egg that was the origin of this whole game! (Hence, deceptively easy.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:33, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:You are absolutely right — awesome job! Sorry to give out such a tricky question this time, but I thought it'd be a lot more fun than "where is this game referenced on homestarrunner.com". Anyways, that's all for the special Halloween Edition of the NES Endings challenge — thanks for participating, everyone! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:''Which two Homestar Runner [[characters]] have dressed up like the protagonists of this game?''
Well, I doubt that any of the H*R characters have actually dressed up as [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/b/snow.htm snowmen]. There is a [[:Image:PomPomSnowman.png|snowman dressed up as Pom Pom]] in [[A Holiday Greeting]], and then there is Strong Sad dressed up as a snowman in [[Fall Float Parade]], but more or less involuntarily ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:Yep — you've got what I was looking for! And you're right: I probably could have worded the question better. At any rate, here's to 04 Glorious Seconds of Nunchucking Snowmen! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

(1) Snow Brothers {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

:''"Long neck, no hands, 100 legs, cannot stand. Born of a forest nest, Against a wall I rest." (1) Where in the game can you find this item, and (2) what Homestar Runner character resembles it?''
::[[Wikipedia:Shadowgate|Shadowgate]] is the game. You can find a broom, the answer to the riddle, in a room with a sphinx, and [[Marzipan]] looks like a broom. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Close enough — the riddle about the broom takes place in the sphinx room, but you actually get the broom in the mirror room. But you're close enough to win given all the April 1 confusion ;) Nice work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

== French Subtitles ==

Just to clear things up: you just added spaces to my translations before exclamation points and question marks. I question, though, because both my sister, who speaks French, and my french teacher both type and write without those spaces. I live in America, my two resources who helped me both learned French in Quebec. Is there something different between France french and Canadian french? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 06:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there — there are a lot of difference between Canadian French and French as spoken in France, but I don't know if this is one of them. I do know that this is something that [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]], a native speaker living in France [[User talk:Trey56/Archive 1#French subtitles|thought was important]]. It'd probably be best to keep doing that for consistency with all the ones he's transcribed. By the way, I didn't know this either before he corrected me — they didn't teach it in my French classes either. If you feel like it, it's probably worth contacting [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] about, if you can get ahold of him. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== Transcription ==

Thanks for taking notice to my hard work. I'm glad someone noticed. I'd really like someone to proofread those so they can be removed from the list, Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, I was carving my HSR-related pumpakin. But, thanks for noticing. Do you think you could proofread those? Thanks,{{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:Absolutely — I'll be happy to proofread your transcripts for [[A Decemberween Pageant]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], and [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. It might take me a day or two to have time to finish it, but I'll be sure to get it done.

:By the way, which pumpkin did you make? Laters, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

::I made the one that's just the H*R logo. My pumpkin started drying up the day after I carved it, so the flimsy little star outline got all shriveled up and dissapeared. Other that that, it turned out gweat. Swarthily, Bubs's Concession Stand. Oops, I mean {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:::Aw, peas. I finally had a chance to proofread your transcripts, so I popped in my [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]], went to go look at the [[HRWiki:DVD commentary transcripts|commentaries you transcribed]], and realized that they're all on [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]. Which I don't have. So, I'm afraid I can't proofread them for you — sorry :( {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

::::Don't feel too bad. The couple people I asked to proofread those said they didn't have that DVD, so I guess nobody has that [[Everything Else, Volume 2]] DVD, I'll get someone to proof those. I was gonna do it myself, but I decided against it at the last minute(even though my dad's an English major). Thanks anyways, {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

==Uploading pictures==
I was wondering... how do you copy pictures from h*r toons and post them on the wiki? I'm creating a page and I need a certain picture on it.
Please respond, [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]
:Hi! Check out the "How to take a screenshot" section on [[Help:Image]]. Let me know if you have any other questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I just have one more question: how do you organize userboxes? [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]

:Good question. Put each one on a separate line, put <code><nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki></code> on a separate line above them all, and put <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code> on a line below them all. So, it should look like this:
<pre><nowiki>
{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|...}}
{{userbox|...}}
...
{{userbox|...}}
|}
</nowiki></pre>
:Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

:I'm not 100% sure what you're asking... are you asking if the visuals should go on a separate page, like the [[Different Town Visuals]]? If so, then yeah, I think the visuals for the song wil probably end up at [[Happy Dethemberween Visuals]]... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

== E-Doughnut ==

Remember when you told me the song from Happy Dethemberween was gonna be the Quote of the Week. You said "I bet you one e-doughnut it's gonna be the Quote of the Week." BONK! You owe me 1 e-doughnut.--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 21:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

:But we haven't gotten a new Quote of the Week yet! I realize we might not get one this week, but if the next one they publish is not the Happy Dethemberween song, I will hold true to my promised e-doughnut :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Userbox instructions ==
Hey Trey, sorry to bother you again, but is there a page with instructions on making userboxes, or whatever those "This user is a slice of pie" things are? Thanks in advance, -{{User:GardenBoy/sig}} 22:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:Yup: check out [[HRWiki:Userbox]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::How do I keep missing these things? Also, I just read your welcome text and ''my'' birthday is April 15th too! How weird is that? Thanks again. -{{User:GardenBoy/sig}} 22:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::Ha — happy Tax Day! By the way, I thought of one last suggestion to make your sig perfectly adherent to the size regulations ([[#Help a Newbie?|see above]]). Laters! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Signature (Lux Acerbus) ==
Hey, seein' as how you're a sysop, I'm hoping you can figure out what's wrong with my sig. First of all, the nowrap command or whatever it is that keeps my sig from breaking up into two lines seems to be making it push it outside the border of discussion pages [http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/LuxAcerbus/HRWiki.jpg like so]. In addition, the timestamp keeps showing up in one of those weird little blue boxes with the dotted line around it instead of the usual plain text fashion. I don't know what the crap I did, but if you have any suggestions, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks! {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 03:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

:I {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Lux_Acerbus/sig&diff=533436&oldid=532574 fixed}} the second of the two issues you mentioned (there was a missing <nowiki></nowiki> tag at the end of it). I'll look into the first issue (the border violation problem) and see if I can figure anything out. (Though maybe fixing the one issue fixed that one as well). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, I figured it out. The reason that's happening is the "--" you put before your signatures. If you put the -- inside the no-wrap tag, like this:
<pre><nowiki>--...</nowiki></pre>
::then you won't see your signature bleed over the edge like that. I'm not sure if you want it to be part of your signature or not, but at any rate, that's where the problem is. But unless it really bothers you, I wouldn't worry about it: it's not a policy violation or anything. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

== WANTED ==

You still need to give me an e-doughnut. You have '''3''' days from January 15.--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]][[Image:bowler derby.PNG|20px]] 23:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Oop? ==

You removed my vote? I thought non-users could vote. I'm a user on the fanstuff. Why can't I use that account? It'd be nice if I could. I don't really want to get an account here, 'cause I'm not gunna be editing stuff much here. Still Ben, Ben. ([[User:70.54.13.39|70.54.13.39]] 17:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC))

:Nope, unfortunately only logged-in users may vote. From [[HRWiki:STUFF#instructions]], in the "Notes about voting" section:
<blockquote>
You must be logged in when you vote. Votes cast by anonymous users do not count, and your vote will be deleted, even if you have an account. If you do not have an account, take a second to [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.
</blockquote>
:So, unfortunately, if you want to vote, you'll have to create an account over here. It's okay if you don't plan to use it for anything else. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

== Trey, my main man, my ace in the hole, I'm gonna level with you. ==

I have been tinkering around with my sig for about a weeks now, and I'm still having a small issue that the Help page isn't fixing: I would really like the images on either side of my name to link to my Talk and Contributions, respectively. Even using your sig as a model, what ends up happening is it says <nowiki>{{image}}</nowiki> in the external link blue.[[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]]. I came to you because solving promblems seems to be something you're especially good at. I thank you in advance for your time and patience with me. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 16:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

:Hey there. Yeah, this can be tricky. Fortunately, there's now a cool template that does this for you: {{tl|imagelink}}. To use it, type <code><nowiki>{{imagelink|link=PAGENAME|image=FULL_IMAGE_URL}}</nowiki></code>, replacing "PAGENAME" with the wiki page you want to link to (e.g., "User talk:Flashfight") and replacing "FULL_IMAGE_URL" with the full URL of the image you want to link to (e.g., <nowiki>http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/4/4d/Flashfight_Medal_Green.PNG/12px-Flashfight_Medal_Green.PNG</nowiki>) To get the URL for the small version of the image, just right-click on it and pick "Open image in new window", or whatever the option's called.

:Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::Ok, everything seems to be working well, the only promblem is that I can't get the URL for the thumbnail of either picture (thanks for the URL of the medal...helped a lot). I'm using FireFox if that's relevant. When I right click on the thumbnail of the Cheat Commando, but it's just taking to the Upload log page, not the thumbnail page that the URL you gave. And I think you again for your patience. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 18:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Hmm... some sort of "open image in a new window" option should come up if you right-click (or CTRL+click on a Mac), but in case it doesn't work out for you, here's the URL for the other image: <code><nowiki>http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/b/be/Flashfight.PNG/19px-Flashfight.PNG</nowiki></code> — Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Ok, it was the "open in new window" thing...I've got it, thanks 1*10^10 {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 20:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::No problem. And it looks like the links are working — good work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Telltale banned from the forums here ==

Heya, I was wondering if you have the power or the connections to unban the Telltale offices from the HR Wiki Forums. Not sure how that happened, but we're all looking forward to reading about our game :) The IP is 208.106.40.170. some of us have been using tunnels or alternate public IPs to get around it, but that's less than ideal. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 21:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:I've notified the people who can possibly do something about this, so hopefully it's easily fixable. I'll let you know as soon as I find out more. By the way, the game looks great, and I'm loving all the inside references in the trailer! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

::Woo thanks! The new stuff that we haven't quite gotten around to getting online should (hopefully) be equally entertaining. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 21:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

::: Well that was quick. Looks like we're in! --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 21:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

::: [Edit conflict] I've unblocked the IP. I can't find any information as to why it was blocked in the first place. Cheers. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Great! Let us know if you need anything else, and keep up the good work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== User talk page blanking ==
Trey, the edit on my user talk was me, I just forgot to log in. I'm simply cleaning it out, ok? But thanks for your concern, [[User:Chipwich]][[User:Chipwich|Chipwich]] 23:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

== Excellence in Discussion. ==

[[Image:Flashfight Medal Blue.png|thumb|Be proud, you earned it!]]

Trey, it is my esteemed honor to award you with this, the second [[User:Flashfight#Barnstar_for_Excellence_in_Discussion| Medal for Excellence in Discussion]]! There are few people on The Wiki as committed to consensus building as you, but that is not the primary reason for your awardation. Over the year or so that I have been contributing, I have seen no one as patient or understanding with new users as yourself. Truly, it is your calm, level-headed discourse that serves as the model for civility in Talk Pages. When so many of us fall into unfortunate patterns of edit-wars and frustration, it seems that there are few who seem to conduct themselves with more tact and professionalism than you. It is an honor to award you this small token of my appreciation for keeping our little Knowledge Base a little more civil.
{{User:Flashfight/sig}}

:Wow, thanks a lot! That's nice of you :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

==Thanks For the Welcome!==

It makes a nice change to turn up at a wiki and get the feeling you're in an actual community, not an nedlesscluster of faceless ones. :P Beleive me, thoguh, I'm not that experienced - I mostly footer about on the edge of things to hide my poor wiki markup ski11z. I cheated my way through the double redirects. :)
Seriously thoguh, thanks again, and i'llsee you around.

Okay, if I use to many tags, could you fix them? Or teach me how? I didn't know how that would kill anyone, and I STILL DIDN'T WRITE DEM DOWWN!!! GRRR!
Little heart, [[User: MichaelXX2|MichaelXX2]]
:Okay, here's what you do:
:#Look at {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:MichaelXX2&diff=563354&oldid=563345 my edit}} of your user page to see what templates I removed. The templates are the ones that appear in double curly braces, like {{t|SBCG4AP}}.
:#Go to the corresponding template page by typing "Template:" and the name of the template in the search bar (e.g. [[Template:SBCG4AP]]).
:#When you get to that page, click "edit" to view the source. Highlight and copy all the stuff in between <nowiki>{|</nowiki> and <nowiki>|}</nowiki>. In most cases, this will give you the template without any of the categories.

'''Page Title:''' Exempt Those Exams!

==Transcript==
'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader! ''{most likely to!}'' So and So! ''{more than likely to succeed!}'' What's Her Face! ''{least likely to care}'' The Ugly One! ''{like, mostly to secede?}''

''{Open to Cheerleader standing with What's Her Face and So and So.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh boy, girls... Boys!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Uh, what about them?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nothing really. I just like to say the word.

''{Cut to close up of Cheerleader.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{makes a weird face}'' Boys.

''{Cut back to everyone. The Ugly One walks in with a "YEAR BOOK".}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Last day of school, my better looking sistas! And that means it's YEARBOOK DAY!!

''{Quick cut to the girls fighting inside a cloud of dust.}''

'''ALL:''' LEMME SEE MY PICTURE! LEMME SEE MY PICTURE!

''{Cut to Cheerleader with a frown pulling the book out of the pile. The cover of the book now reads, "The AWKWARDIAN '08".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Gimme that jank. ''{pile disappears}'' Here I am, right between Cheerladder and Cheerlubber. Ugh. I look terrible.

''{Close-up of the yearbook, showing Cheerladder (a ladder with a face, holding a "G'backs" megaphone), Cheerleader with a fangs and a dead bird stuck to her face, and Cheerlubber, a whale with pom-poms, a pirate hat and an eye-patch}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{off screen}'' I can't believe they scheduled school pictures for the same day as tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day. That finch was hard to kill.

''{Cut to So-and-so, holding up her hand.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Before I can dabble in any yearbookery... ''{moves her hand to her chest}'' I have some final exams to ACE!! ''{raises her hand again, looking determined}'' Scantron armor... ''{flies into the air}'' ASSEMBLE!!

''{Robotic body armor attaches to So-and-so's body as she calls out.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' NUMBER 2 PENCIL! ''{left arm appears}'' SCRATCH PAPER! ''{right arm appears}'' HEALTHY BREAKFAST! ''{hips and legs appear}'' COMFORTABLE CLOTHES! ''{torso appears}'' And I'll form... the HEAD! ''{head appears}''

''{So-and-so stands in her Scantron armor. Science Fiction Greg looks on, reading a comic.}''

'''SCIENCE FICTION GREG:''' Ugh. ''{cut to close-up, showing he is holding a Scantron comic}'' That design looks nothing like the comic books. Doesn't canon mean anything to these people?

''{Cut to So-and-so in her Scantron armor, sitting at a desk next to a teacher holding a test.}''

'''MRS. FRILLSNECK:''' Here's your final exam class... it's a ditto.

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{looking distraught}'' A DITTO?! But Mrs. Frillsneck, I studied for a standardized test!

''{Cut to Scantron against a background of lines.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Scantron vs MimeogWrath!

''{"vs" and the "mimeogWrath" appear; it is a six-eyed monstrous piece of paper with tentacles, horns and legs. Its eyes, mouth and "Final Exam Ditto" are drawn in purple.}''

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{as Scantron, running with a pencil}'' DIXON TICONDEROGA LAZER BLADE ATTACK!

''{The pencil hits the MimeogWrath, which closes its eyes, then starts "waving" one of its tentacles.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' HYPER TURBO FILL IN THE BLANK BARRAGE!!

''{Scantron is blown apart, the head and limbs coming apart in the explosion.}''

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{as Scantron}'' AHH! My secret weakness!!

''{Cut to Cheerleader, The Ugly One and What's Her Face in the gym. All three wear singlets and shorts; both The Ugly One's and What's Her Face's are clearly dirty.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't believe we have to dress out for our P.E. exam. I'm so tired of washing this uniform every day. ''{crosses her hands}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{evasively, making a face}'' Yes... washing... them... ever

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{pointing as she completes the sentence}'' —ryday!

''{Coach appears to the left, holding a stopwatch.}''

'''COACH:''' Okie dokie ladygals. Your physical education final exam consists of me not making any misinterpreted remarks about the length of your shorts ''{holds out the stopwatch}'' and you doing a single push-up.

'''CHEERLEADER, THE UGLY ONE & WHAT'S HER FACE:''' NO!!!

'''COACH:''' ''{shaken, holding up his hands}'' Hey great work! You all get A's!!

''{Close up of Cheerleader, looking annoyed. Her singlet reads "Growlback's Phys. Ed."}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Thank groodness. ''{smiles, pointing up}'' Sweating is against several of my religions!

''{A boy crashes a cart into Cheerleader, apparently killing her; towels and gym kit fall from the cart.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TOWEL BOY'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' Hey!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically; his words do not appear}'' Oh, excuse me. ''{the previous words are replaced}'' TEAM MANAGER'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{smiles, and holds up a card as he speaks}'' Stats!

''{Cut to What's Her Face facing several lockers.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I'll go ahead and clean out my locker I 'spooooooooose. ''{the o's move up, then down as she speaks}''

''{What's Her Face throws objects out from her locker as she speaks.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Old papers... ''{throws papers}'' old pencils... ''{throws pencils}'' old person... ''{throws Mr. Pitters}''

'''MR. PITTERS:''' ''{hurriedly}'' I left a check for last month's rent on the table!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{waving}'' See you in September! ''{puts her hand back in her locker}'' Ooh. Whats this?

''{What's Her Face is eaten by a giant cake with fangs and limbs.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' REVENGE OF THE CROSS COUNTRY BOOSTER CLUB BAKESALE!!

'''EVIL CAKE:''' ''{holding up one of its hands}'' Tastes like 9 minute miles!

''{Cut to The Ugly One reading the yearbook.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can't believe I was voted most prettiest.

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing three seniors laughing and pointing. One wears a baseball cap with a "G". The Ugly One looks upset.}''

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Heh heh senior prank.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset}'' Oooooh.

'''SECOND SENIOR:''' Naw really. You wanna be my girlfriend?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, raising her arm}'' I'd love to!

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Senior prank, heh.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset again}'' Oooooh.

'''THIRD SENIOR:''' ''{holding up a ring}'' Want this diamond ring?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{reaching for it}'' Of course!

'''SENIORS:''' Senior prank heh heh heh.

''{The Ugly One is upset again, but then three trash cans are thrown over the seniors, and she smiles.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' COME UPPENCE!

'''SENIORS:''' Something got dumped on us! We'll never live it down! Our reputations are ruined!

''{Music starts, and Quarterback walks in.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, throwing the yearbook away}'' Quarterman!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' Ugly One, all this time I was looking around, and you weren't right there in front of me. ''{close up}'' But I realized—when I was looking around—that you were right there in front of me—all this time—Ugly One.

''{Cut back to both of them.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' That makes so much sense!!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' ''{offering his arm}'' Will you accompany me to the end credits?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{putting her arm in his}'' I'd love to!!

''{The end credits roll, first showing "It's over!", then The Ugly One and Quarterback in a parking lot, then the seniors with trash cans on their heads, and "It's over" again.}''

<blockquote>Directed by Strong Bad 
Special Scantron FX oversawed by Bubs 
"It's over" performed by Tite Rolled</blockquote>

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over the end credits}'' It's over! And you're walking into a parking lot with a hot guy. It's over! And they all make fun of you, but they got stuff dumped on top of them. ''{music stops}'' It's over!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Scantron.png|thumb|Scantron]]
*At the end, click on the "o" to see issue 87 of "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It features [[Strong_Badman_Characters#Scantron|Scantron]] with a word bubble reading "I need your help. Strong Badman! My comic book's not selling well!" Text at the bottom of the cover reads "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Science Fiction Greg's remarks that So-and-So's Scantron armor "looks nothing like the comic books" parodies fan complaints of superhero movies that differ in some way from their comic book counterparts (for example, the [[Wikipedia:Transformers (film)|live-action ''Transformers'' movie]], which had considerably different robot designs from the original '80s cartoon).
*[[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|Canon]] refers to a collection of fictional events that create a ficticious universe, such as the Marvel Universe or the Star Wars galaxy. Some fan communities take canon very seriously and try to fit every piece of fiction about said universe seamlessly together.
*[[Wikipedia:Scantron|Scantrons]] are a type of fill-in-the-bubble test sheet that are commonly used in high schools and middle schools.
*MimeogWrath refers to the [[Wikipedia:Mimeograph_machine|Mimeograph]], a technology commonly used to reproduce classroom materials.
*[[Wikipedia: Dixon Ticonderoga|Dixon Ticonderoga]] is a brand of [[Wikipedia: pencil|pencil]].

===Remarks===
*Cheerleader remarks that she had to "tape a dead thing to her face" on Picture Day, but neither Cheerladder nor Cheerlubber did.
*Cheerleader's gym shirt has "Growlback's Phys. Ed." written on it. Given that the team is called the "Growlbacks", the apostrophe should be after the S if it's referring to the team.
*The Strong Badman comic is labeled as the [[1987|87]]th issue, even though there already was an [[:Image:EnterTooSoonMan.png|issue 87]] featuring "Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man".

===Goofs===
*At the end, clicking on "again" simply repeats the final credits rather than the entire cartoon.
*There is a slight difference in spacing in the text "DiXON TICONDEROGA LAZER" before and after the word "BLADE" appears.
*Right before the credits move up, they start to move down for a split-second.

===Inside References===
*Cheerleader is wearing a "Fighting Growlbacks" T-shirt during her gym final. The Growlbacks were first mentioned as the school's mascot in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
*"Thank groodness" is the reappearance of an older [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "great" and "good", also from Issue 4.
*The third Senior has a "[[G]]" on his cap.
*Cheerleader has [[fangs]] in her yearbook photo.

===Real-World References===
*So-and-So's transformation into "Scantron" (as well as her saying "And I'll form the head!") is reminiscent of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Quarterback's song refers to "What I've Been Looking For" from the [[Disney]] television film ''[[Wikipedia:High School Musical|High School Musical]]''.

Either a week of entertainment running gags or 1 gag featured the whole week. (I think if we only had to pick 1, [[Peanuts]] is the worthiest) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:Well, the only problem with that one is that its intro would have to be DRASTICALLY expanded. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::How about featuring a classic toon. [[A Jorb Well Done]] is long overdue for being featured. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::A Jorb Well Done is a fine toon, and should definitely be featured. There's even enough enticing trivia to expand on it (namely the bit about it originally being animated in an older style, and then updated. The only toon I know of to go through a reanimationing and style change). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I like it, too. {{User:Hrjcm/sig}} 23:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Jorb is a great idea. This is one of the most important long toons, well worthy of being featured. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 21]] (May 19-25) ===
A Food or Drinks Running Gag. How about [[General Tso's Chicken]], [[Fluffy Puff]], [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], or [[Homestar Jr.]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:Not exactly running gags, but meh. Fluffy Puffs have been around forever and are clearly important in the H*R universe. I think they'd make a good feature (though the article might need a little improvement). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
::Besides, we already did a foods week [[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection/Discussion_Archive_2007_Weeks_41-52#HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2007.2C_week_41_.28Oct_8-14.29|not that long ago...]] [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] would be a worthy possibility for a week long feature (and it was suggested as a possibility in the earlier discussion). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about a ''clothing'' running gag? Like [[Bowler Hats]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, we already have three people interested in featuring Fluffy Puffs. Can you contribute a bit to the discussion by explaining why you think we ought to look at Bowler Hats instead? Remember, this is a discussion, not a vote, and just throwing out ideas without responding to previous suggestions doesn't really help. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the Fluffy Puff ones was on a different week. Sorry, my mistake. Sure, we can do Fluffy Puff. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 22]] (May 26-Jun 1) ===

Heading into summer - how about a week of featuring emails which introduced important songs and musical motifs? I'm thinking [[guitar]], [[techno]], [[death metal]], [[different town]], [[concert]], [[candy product]], and end it with [[rock opera]]. Order might be better switched up a little. Believe it or not, none have been featured, and all are of importance to TBC's musical ouevre. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm really tired of these suggestions for running daily FAs. Most of the time, the suggested daily articles usually important enough to be featured for the entire week or too short to be noted at all. The emails noted here are a good example of this problem. [[guitar]] or [[techno]], for example, are very important emails, and should get a week by themselves. In fact, any of the suggested emails should get an entire week. Personally, I'd start with [[techno]] for this week, and leave the rest for a later time. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::Well, your position is definitely noted. I don't think we do dailies all that often. When we do, it's due to a strong theme and a series of strong contributors to that theme. I would agree that the two emails you cite, along with several of the others, ''could'' get a week to themselves. The fact that they all reside on the nomination list and have never been featured is conspicuous. And this also delves into why we feature articles in the first place - is it to give every article its due, or to give the visitor their due? I think a week of dailies compels the visitor to return, to maybe get active. I think they are good things for the wiki. I can see how others might argue to the contrary, and that's cool. I kinda think this idea is a strong one. Just my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about [[Summer Short Shorts]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I think that would be more appropriate to feature when it's actually summer rather than the end of May. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::How about [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]? Or maybe a character in it like [[Eh! Steve!]] (my idea was previously rejected above.) {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::Okay, I'm game for that. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Well, Sweet Cuppin' Cakes is an excellent idea I will support. But please remember my themed musical week when enough time has passed for such a daily week to be appropriate, if you would. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I certainly will. Let's let it go for a while and then see. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 23]] (Jun 2-8) ===
How about doing a short? Like an OLD short, such as... [[Strong Bad Sings]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'd go with that. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
::Do you think there's enough content there for a decent writeup? It's a pretty short toon with no real plot, so I'm not so sure. Maybe someone would like to take a stab at it in their userspace and see if we can get a writeup? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Well then, how about [[Kick the Can]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::::You know, let's just get [[Sweet Cuppin Cakes]] out of the way, huh? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I thought we were doing that in week 22...? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::Well, what of the music-themed email week that Sam the Man suggested? Of course, I'm fine with doing that one this week if we're going to be doing Sweet Cuppin Cakes the week before. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I thought it was quite clear that discussion had moved away from the musical email week for week 22 in toward Sweet Cuppin' Cakes. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I didn't suggest the music week, that was Qermaq. Kick The Can could work. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Oh, sorry, I thought it was Sam the Man. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Whichever week gets Strong bads cool game should feature that article. It'll probably be this week so i propose it! [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 19:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 24]] (Jun 9-15) ===
I'm up for an important place. There always been '''[[The Field]]''', '''[[The Stick]]''' and '''[[Homestar Runner's House]]'''? However, [[The Field]] would '''drastically''' need an intro cleanup, and [[The Stick]] would need an intro cleanup too. [[Homestar Runner's House]] is the best choice, so I'd go with that. That's '''always''' been around since like '''day 5'''. Unless anybody else can think of something else, I'm for Homestar's House. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say we do [[Homestar Runner's House]]. Of course, The Stick and especially The Field have been around forever, but as you said they need to be updated, so the armless white guy's abode would be the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:Maintenance coming in: We're going to far out in terms of dates right now. We're now talking about eleven weeks ahead of today; we really should keep the discussions a little closer than this. Go ahead and discuss this one, but could we please not add any more weeks for a bit? Thanks. Resume discussion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, and if I might make a bit of a plug: I'm working on a subpage about guidelines for FAS: [[User:Heimstern Läufer/FAS]]. I welcome comments and improvements, especially from any regulars in the discussion here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[[A Folky Tale]]? Full-length toon with quite a bit of content, not to mention funny. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:I hate to burst your bubble, but if we're going to be featuring A Jorb Well Done for Week 20, then maybe we should do something else, so that we don't have to worry about exhausting everything instantly. I think that's what you said about "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship". I would like to feature this, though; just not so soon. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the comparison is not exactly valid. There are many toon articles that can be featured, but few relationship articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, alright, I guess we can do it, then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Wait, I got a better idea. Why don't we just do [[Saddy Dumpington]], the character? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I like that idea. Not many Strong Sad variants get featured, and this article has an extensive write up (more than enough to act as a teaser and justify the More) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 26]] (Jun 23-29) ===
How about [[Summer Short Shorts]]? It would have to be summer by now. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 27]] (Jun 30-Jul 6) ===
Since we already featured [[Happy Fireworks]], how about [[Cardboard Marzipan]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:I guess we could do that. Another thing we should try is [[Fireworks]]. Of course, that one would need to be updated drastically. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, which is too bad, since Fireworks is definitely better connected to July 4th. But then, there's no obligation to do a July 4th article, so there's no harm in doing a one with a loose connection like Carboard Marzi. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:33, 24 April 2008

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 28]] (Jul 7-13) ===
Have we featured [[The Announcer]] yet? If so, how about [[Homestarloween Party]]? --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC) Or specially marked.
:Getting pretty far out in advance again; let's not go any further than this week for a bit, OK?
:We haven't featured The Announcer yet. That article could possibly use some expansion before featuring, but it's a possibility. [[Homestarloween Party]]'s been featured (and we usually save Halloween toons to be featured at Halloween, anyway). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, let's slow down a little bit, huh? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 08:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Ten weeks is enough. I think we have 12 now. Let's hold it to 10 - guideline suggestion? Question mark? The Announcer works for me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::::First, The Announcer sounds reasonable to me, but secondly, let's slow ''way'' down a little bit, huh? We keep getting too far out ahead. Let's add more once we get below five or six weeks ahead (by then, the first 26 weeks will likely be in the archives and it'll be time for weeks 27 through 52). In the meantime, if it's any comfort to you, we can keep discussing ideas for the weeks that are already on here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader! ''{most likely to!}'' So and So! ''{more than likely to succeed!}'' What's Her Face! ''{least likely to care}'' The Ugly One! ''{like, mostly to secede?}''

''{Open to Cheerleader standing with What's Her Face and So and So.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh boy, girls... Boys!

'''SO AND SO:''' Uh, what about them?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nothing really. I just like to say the word.

''{Cut to close up of Cheerleader.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{makes a weird face}'' Boys.

''{Cut back to everyone. The Ugly One walks in with a YEAR BOOK.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Last day of school, my better looking sistas! And that means it's YEARBOOK DAY!!

''{Quick cut to the girls fighting inside a cloud of dust.}''

'''ALL:''' LEMME SEE MY PICTURE! LEMME SEE MY PICTURE!

''{Cut to Cheerleader with a frown pulling the book out of the pile. The cover of the book now reads, "The AWKWARDIAN '08".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Gimme that jank. ''{pile disappears}'' Here I am, right between Cheerladder and Cheerlubber. Ugh. I look terrible.

''{Close-up of the yearbook, showing Cheerladder (a ladder with a face, holding a "G'backs" megaphone), Cheerleader with a fangs and a dead bird stuck to her face, and Cheerlubber, a whale with pom-poms, a pirate hat and an eye-patch}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{off screen}'' I can't believe they scheduled school pictures for the same day as tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day. That finch was hard to kill.

''{Cut to So-and-so, holding up her hand.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Before I can dabble in any yearbookery... ''{moves her hand to her chest}'' I have some final exams to ACE!! ''{raises her hand again, looking determined}'' Scantron armor... ''{flies into the air}'' ASSEMBLE!!

''{So-and-so stands in her Scantron armor. Science Fiction Greg looks on, reading a comic.}''

'''SCIENCE FICTION GREG:''' Ugh. ''{cut to close-up, showing he is holding a Scantron comic}'' That design looks nothing like the comic books. Doesn't canon mean anything to these people?

''{Cut to So-and-so in her Scantron armor, sitting at a desk next to a teacher holding a test.}''

'''MRS. FRILLSNECK:''' Here's your final exam class... it's a ditto.

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{looking distraught}'' A DITTO?! But Mrs. Frillsneck, I studied for a standardized test!

''{Cut to Scantron against a background of lines}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Scantron vs MimeogWrath!

''{"vs" and the "mimeogWrath" appear; it is a six-eyed monstrous piece of paper with tentacles, horns and legs. Its eyes, mouth and "Final Exam Ditto" are drawn in purple.}''

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{as Scantron, running with a pencil}'' DIXON TICONDEROGA LAZER BLADE ATTACK!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' HYPER TURBO FILL IN THE BLANK BARRAGE!!

''{Scantron is blown apart, the head and limbs coming apart in the explosion.}''

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{as Scantron}'' AHH! My secret weakness!!

''{Cut to Cheerleader, The Ugly One and What's Her Face in the gym. All three wear singlets and shorts; both The Ugly One's and What's Her Face's are clearly dirty.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't believe we have to dress out for our P.E. exam. I'm so tired of washing this uniform every day. ''{crosses her hands}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{evasively, making a face}'' Yes... washing... them... ever

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{pointing as she completes the sentence}'' —ryday!

''{Coach appears to the left, holding a stopwatch.}''

'''COACH:''' Okie dokie ladygals. Your physical education final exam consists of me not making any misinterpreted remarks about the length of your shorts ''{holds out the stopwatch}'' and you doing a single push-up.

'''CHEERLEADER, THE UGLY ONE & WHAT'S HER FACE:''' NO!!!

'''COACH:''' ''{shaken, holding up his hands}'' Hey great work! you all get A's!!

''{Close up of Cheerleader, looking annoyed. Her singlet reads "Growlback's Phys. Ed."}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Thank groodness. ''{smiles, pointing up}'' Sweating is against several of my religions!

''{A boy crashes a cart into Cheerleader, apparently killing her; towels and gym kit fall from the cart.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TOWEL BOY'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' Hey!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically; his words do not appear}'' Oh, excuse me. ''{the previous words are replaced}'' TEAM MANAGER'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{smiles, and holds up a card as he speaks}'' Stats!

''{Cut to What's Her Face facing several lockers.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I'll go ahead and clean out my locker I 'spooooooooose. ''{the o's move up, then down as she speaks}''

''{What's Her Face throws objects out from her locker as she speaks.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Old papers... ''{throws papers}'' old pencils... ''{throws pencils}'' old person... ''{throws Mr. Pitters}''

'''MR. PITTERS:''' ''{hurriedly}'' I left a check for last month's rent on the table!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{waving}'' See you in September! ''{puts her hand back in her locker}'' Ooh. Whats this?

''{What's Her Face is eaten by a giant cake with fangs and limbs.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' REVENGE OF THE CROSS COUNTRY BOOSTER CLUB BAKESALE!!

'''EVIL CAKE:''' ''{holding up one of its hands}'' Tastes like 9 minute miles!

''{Cut to The Ugly One reading the yearbook.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can't believe I was voted most prettiest.

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing three seniors laughing and pointing. One wears a baseball cap with a "G". The Ugly One looks upset.}''

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Heh heh senior prank.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset}'' Oooooh.

'''SECOND SENIOR:''' Naw really. You wanna be my girlfriend?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, raising her arm}'' I'd love to!

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Senior prank, heh.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset again}'' Oooooh.

'''THIRD SENIOR:''' ''{holding up a ring}'' Want this diamond ring?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{reaching for it}'' Of course!

'''SENIORS:''' Senior prank heh heh heh.

''{The Ugly One is upset again, but then three trash cans are thrown over the seniors, and she smiles.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' COME UPPENCE!

'''SENIORS:''' Something got dumped on us! We'll never live it down! Our reputations are ruined!

''{Music starts, and Quarterback walks in.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, throwing the yearbook away}'' Quarterman!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' Ugly one, all this time I was looking around, and you weren't right there in front of me. ''{close up}'' But I realized when I was looking around that you were right there in front of me all this time Ugly One.

''{Cut back to both of them.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' That makes so much sense!!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' ''{offering his arm}'' Will you accompany me to the end credits?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{putting her arm in his}'' I'd love to!!

''{The end credits roll, first showing "It's over!", then The Ugly One and Quarterback in a parking lot, then the seniors with trash cans on their heads, and "It's over" again.}''

<blockquote>Directed by Strong Bad 
Special Scantron FX oversawed by Bubs 
"It's over" performed by Tite Rolled</blockquote>

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over the end credits}'' It's over! And you're walking into a parking lot with a hot guy. It's over! And they all make fun of you, but they got stuff dumped on top of them. ''{music stops}'' It's over!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Scantron.png|thumb|Scantron]]
*At the end, click on the "o" to see issue 87 of "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It features [[Strong_Badman_Characters#Scantron|Scantron]] with a word bubble reading "I need your help. Strong Badman! My comic book's not selling well!" Text at the bottom of the cover reads "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

==Fun Facts==

===Remarks===
*At the end, if you click on "again" it simply repeats the final credits rather than the entire cartoon.
*Cheerleader remarks that she had to "tape a dead thing to her face" on Picture Day, but Cheerladder and Cheerlubber don't, for some reason

===Goofs===
*The Strong Badman comic is labeled as the 87th issue, but there already was an [[:Image:EnterTooSoonMan.png|issue 87]] featuring "Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man."

*Cheerleader is wearing a "Fighting Growlbacks" T-shirt during her gym final. The Growlbacks were first mentioned as the school's team name in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
*"Thank groodness" is the reappearance of an older portmanteau of "great" and "good", also from Issue 4.
*The third Senior has a "[[G]]" on his cap.

===Real-World References===
*So-and-So's transformation into "Scantron" (as well as her saying "And I'll form the head!") is reminiscent of the classic TV series [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Science Fiction Greg's remarks that So-and-So's Scantron armor "looks nothing like the comic books" parodies fan complaints of movie super heroes that differ in appearance from their comic book counterparts (for example, the [[Wikipedia:X-Men_films|X-Men films]]).

Although made mostly in [[Flash]], and usually 2-dimensional, the characters of [[homestarrunner.com]] have had 3-dimensional variations as well. The biggest case (so far) is [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], in which all of the characters, as far as anyone knows, will be 3D.

Ages of Characters

Physicsguymonsterman — Thu, 08 May 2008 23:51:37 GMT

Physicsguymonsterman: oops!

[[Image:Strong Bad's Age.png|thumb|250px|Strong Bad's age, protected by a sect of closely guarded [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor|monks]] high atop the Coches Mountains.]]
Although the '''ages of the characters''' are left intentionally ambiguous, there are some, albeit contradictory, indications.

== [[Bubs]] ==
*Email [[narrator]] — Strong Bad refers to Bubs (and Coach Z) as "old men".
*[[Fall Float Parade]] (Easter egg) — Homestar Runner calls Bubs "Old Mr. Bubs".
*Email [[isp]] — Strong Bad calls Bubs "Old Man Bubs".
*Email [[slumber party]] — Bubs is among the "older kids" (himself, Coach Z, and the King of Town).
*Email [[winter pool]] — Bubs distinguishes himself from other characters, namely Strong Bad, Homestar, and Strong Sad, calling them "young'uns".
*Email [[rated]] — Bubs is too young to get into a RRR-rated movie; this makes him no older than sixty.

== [[Coach Z]] ==
*Email [[stand-up]] — In the [[Lil' Strong Bad]] video, Coach Z is portrayed as an adult, indicating that he is substantially older than Strong Bad.
*Email [[narrator]] — Strong Bad refers to Coach Z (and Bubs) as "old men".
*Email [[caffeine]] — Coach Z refers to himself as "an old man".
*Email [[highschool]] — Coach Z (albeit in Strong Bad's "doodle memory") was a baby along with Strong Bad, Pom Pom, The Poopsmith and Strong Sad, even though he is apparently older than all of them.
*Email [[what I want]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] — Coach Z's afro'd visage is featured on an ornament from 1974.
*Email [[senior prom]] — Coach Z is apparently old enough to be the 'chaperon' of the senior prom.
*Email [[slumber party]] — Coach Z is among the "older kids" (himself, Bubs, and the King of Town).
*[[Happy Dethemberween]] — Coach Z says that in his day "it was 8-tracks" that were put into his slippers by the Decemberween Thnikkaman, rather than blank casettes and CDs. The heyday of the 8-track was from the late '60s to mid '70s.
*Email [[rated]] — Coach Z is too young to get into a RRR-rated movie; this makes him no older than sixty.

==[[Homestar Runner]]==
*Email [[trading cards]] — Homestar recalls getting 22 butt pats from Coach Z in 1984, meaning he was alive at that time.
*Email [[highschool]] — Homestar (albeit in Strong Bad's "doodle memory") was older than all of the other characters, who appeared as babies.
*Email [[senior prom]] — Homestar is apparently young enough to be a participant in what is supposedly a high school prom.
*Email [[winter pool]] — Homestar is called a "young'un" by Bubs, implying he is much younger.

==[[Marzipan]]==
*Email [[stand-up]] — In the Lil' Strong Bad video, Coach Z mentions "Little Marzipan", implying that Marzipan and Strong Bad are around the same age.
*Email [[senior prom]] — Marzipan is apparently young enough to be a participant in what is supposedly a high school prom.

==[[Strong Bad]]==
*Strong Bad is older than Strong Sad ([[depressio]]; [[different town]]; [[lady...ing]]) but younger than Strong Mad ([[the facts]]), therefore making him the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]].
*[[The Secrets That I Keep]] — Strong Bad and Strong Sad were kids at the same time, so they are probably close in age.
*Email [[stand-up]] — Lil' Strong Bad is shown to be younger than Coach Z.
*Since Strong Bad often refers to doing things in [[1987]], such as checking what Japanese cartoons are called ([[TrogdorCon '97]]), and meeting Van Mundegaarde ([[2 years]]), he was presumably born before this.
*Email [[looking old]] — Strong Bad attempts to stay relevant to a younger audience. When he says he is going to "relate to some 18-24 year olds", he goes to Strong Sad. Since they were kids at the same time, Strong Bad would presumably be around this age. However, Strong Bad also implies that people in this age range are "at least 10 years younger" which would make him 34.
*Email [[diorama]] — Strong Bad is demonstrating how to create "middle-school appropriate" dioramas, and mentions he made some based on made-up books prior to the advent of the internet, which made prominent growth in 1996; this would imply that Strong Bad was out of middle school (over 14 or 15) by that year, making him at least 26 years old.
*Email [[winter pool]] — Strong Bad is called a "young'un" by Bubs, implying he is much younger.
*[[Blubb-O's Commercial]] — Strong Bad refers to himself as "being a young person" for the purposes of the commercial.
*Email [[rated]] — Strong Bad is too young to get into a RRR-rated movie; this makes him no older than sixty.

==[[Strong Mad]]==
*Strong Mad is the eldest of The Brothers Strong.

==[[Strong Sad]]==
*Strong Sad is the youngest of The Brothers Strong.
*Email [[boring (really)]] — Strong Sad was not yet born in 1916.
*Email [[rough copy]] — Strong Sad's dialogue indicates that he must be older than eight.
*Email [[looking old]] — Strong Bad visits with Strong Sad after vowing to "relate to some 18–24 year olds".
*Email [[senior prom]] — Strong Sad is apparently young enough to be a participant in what is supposedly a high school prom.
*Emails [[radio]] and [[concert]] — Some of Strong Sad's musical preferences seem to place him in the "college-age" demographic.
*Email [[winter pool]] — Strong Sad is called a "young'un" by Bubs, implying he is much younger.

==[[The Cheat]]==
*Email [[cheatday]] — The Cheat was almost certainly ''not'' born on 4/18/1961.
*Email [[flashback]] — Strong Bad recounts the Cheat's supposed "birth".

==[[The King of Town]]==
*Email [[space program]] — The King of Town claims to be "in [his] sixties".
*Email [[slumber party]] — The King of Town is among the "older kids" (himself, Bubs, and Coach Z).
*Email [[the bet]] — Strong Bad calls The King of Town a creepy old man.

== [[Teen Girl Squad]]==
*In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5|Issue 5]], Cheerleader claims that they are in college, while So And So claims that they are in 8th grade. It is implied that Cheerleader is lying.
*In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3|Issue 3]], Strong Bad states that the Teen Girl Squad are between the ages of 13 and 19.
*In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9|Issue 9]], [[What's Her Face]] claims to have had her driver's license for over a year. Given that American teenagers get their license around age 16, this would put What's Her Face around the age of 17.

==[[Trogdor]] and [[Stinkoman]]==
*As seen in [[Happy Trogday]], Trogdor's birthday is the day that [[dragon]] debuted (January 13, 2003), making him {{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTMONTH}}>1 or {{CURRENTDAY}}>=13|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2003}}|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2004}}}} years old. Likewise, Stinkoman's birthday is the day that [[japanese cartoon]] debuted (January 6, 2003), possibly making him {{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTMONTH}}>1 or {{CURRENTDAY}}>=6|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2003}}|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2004}}}} years old.

*As seen in [[Happy Trogday]], Trogdor's birthday is the day that [[dragon]] debuted (January 13, 2003), making him {{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTMONTH}}>1 or {{CURRENTDAY}}>=13|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2003}}|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2004}}}} years old. Likewise, Stinkoman's birthday is the day that [[japanese cartoon]] debuted (January 6, 2003), possibly making him {{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTMONTH}}>1 or {{CURRENTDAY}}>=6|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2003}}|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-2004}}}} years old.

Magic.'' ''It's pretty simple, actually. I use the [[mw:Manual:Hooks/ParserAfterTidy|ParserAfterTidy]] hook to intercept the output right before it's sent to the browser.'' ''First, the extension checks whether the output corresponds to a wiki page (that is, it's ''not'' a special page, page history, page editor, system message, or the like), otherwise it ignores it.'' ''Then it scans the page for all formatting (tables, links, bold, etc.) so that the overall structure of the page can be preserved.'' ''Finally, it takes whatever text is left (organized in chunks that correspond to the formatting), splits it at the spaces, mixes it up, and puts the whole thing back together (with a few adjustments to make sure certain punctuation comes out right), and then ''that's'' what gets sent to your browser.'' ''It doesn't touch the actual database, and it doesn't affect the editing process (things like Show Preview work fine), so it wouldn't have been any problem to document any shenanigans at the offical site, if only TBC had done something.''

ISTK: you have the right not to like the prank, but there are far more constructive ways to communicate this. By the way, what clever April Fool's Joke did you do on your own website?

It's very difficult to come up with a creative prank, and I thought this one was clever and well-implemented. And as others have secretly said above, it was simple to view pages in their original format by using Show Preview. Worst-case scenario: it was a one-day annoyance to people who couldn't figure out how to get around it, and 24 hours later, everything was back to normal. Life goes on, yay. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

==Gamestop.com==
*I didn't check if it was added to anything (sorry, too lazy again) in the Wiki but a couple weeks ago Gamestop's website was mbeing remodeled. And they gave out a few web sites to check out while they were fixing their site. One was Homestar Runner. Uh, I would go to the Wayback Machine right now but my school's firewall once again prevails. Can someone look that up for me? It was like 2 weeks ago. Thanks. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 15:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC) EDIT: Just checked the [[Website Sightings]] and wasn't on there.

::Check [http://web.archive.org/web/*sa_/http://www.gamestop.com this] out after going home or something. The year 2008 apparently isn't avail. yet. Also, clicking "See all..." gives a "Bad Gateway" error. You can also bypass school firewalls by getting an Ubuntu Live CD and making the comp. boot from it. Unless they use a firewall that scans all types of OSes (Novell can't) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Delete File: Image:IyerusDesignsLogo.png ==

The image requires deletion by a sysop of somekind because I uploaded a better suited image for my signature. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Done. Next time, just tag it with the {{t|delete}} template (or save a new image over the old image) instead of posting here. Cheers. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
::I can't save a GIF over a PNG File, it'll give an error saying the source file (on my machine) is corrupt or the wrong type. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::But you can save a GIF ''as'' an 8-bit PNG and then upload that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Paint.NET doesn't allow you to choose the png type, nor does GIMP. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::Well, a little online searching says that's not true. Anyway, it's beside the point; I only mentioned saving over the file only as an aside. My main point is still that you should just tag the image instead of posting here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::PNG Type as in the two sub-types, not the overall mime-type. I bet you searched for just if they could save as "png." Paint.NET saves PNGs as 24 only, I know this. I don't edit images with GIMP, I use it for image viewing. It's better at that than editing, if you show me a screenshot of where GIMP allows one to choose whether it saves as the individual '''subtypes''' I'll believe you. -_- {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::I'm not sure what you're after (I'm 99% certain PNG doesn't have "subtypes"...), but based on the fact that you said 24, I'm guessing you mean 24-bit, as in, as opposed to a palletised image? If that's what you want, then look in the title bar of the image in The GIMP... if it says "Indexed", then when you save it as .PNG it'll be a palletised image; if it says "RGB" it'll be saved as a 24-bit RGB image. You can switch between the two by choosing "Mode" from the "Image" menu. If you open a GIF it'll always start as "Indexed" (since that's how GIFs work). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Indexed huh? I'll have to keep that in mind then. Photoshop actually tells you PNG-8 or PNG-24 (They also can be Interlaced separately. When saving a PNG in Photoshop, there is no Indexed Option.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Main Page Copying... ==

Why do most users copy the main page to their user page? It gets kind of annoying to have to see it come up suddenly, and not knowing about the user instead. ([[User:The_Pony_man|this]] is an example) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:I wouldn't really say that ''most'' users do this. Hardly any, in fact, relatively speaking. You're right though, it ''is'' kind of annoying, and I don't know why they do it. Why don't you ask them individually and see what they say. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

:It's actually correct. I'd guess its gotten some online traffic, though. Maybe that's the problem? Try to specify what error screen you get and keep trying. If it keeps coming up, repost on here and someone else'll help you (I have to go to class in like, 10 minutes). It should work. Ooh, check your network connection too (Since you were able to post that on here, I doubt you have any problems, but, still...). --[[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 12:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

== Special Case Easy Link ==

==I can't do it!==
I'm trying to edit the page to show the newest cartoon (Homestar Gets Something Stuck In His Craw), but It just puts me in coding program
:Well, if you mean you're trying to edit the main page, you can't. It's protected so that only our [[HRWiki:Sysops|sysops]] can edit it, so we don't have vandals putting something bad on what is normally what people first see. If you're talking about trying to edit the page [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]], anyone can edit that, not just sysops. When you click "edit" at the top, it brings you to the same coding program you used to post your notice. The coding program is what you use to edit. If this isn't helping, be very specific about your problem. And don't forget to edit your talk page edits by typing four tides, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. It automatically puts your name and the time and date of post where the tides would be. But only do this on talk pages! If we did this on content pages, this place would be nothing but signatures. Hope this helps. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== autocolumn tag... ==

I was wondering, how did you install it into MediaWiki. Because it comes in handy in more ways than one. Simply searching for autocolumn on the MediaWiki.org website results in nothing. As well as userboxsamples tag; Yeah, I don't know jack about creating custom tags like that, sorry for being ignorant. I'd ask the MediaWiki site, but they look like they have enough on their hands (much more so than here.) Now if MediaWiki had an e-mail address I could contact, I'd e-mail them; but I don't want to add a discussion or something on their wiki.{{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:The reason you can't find it is that I made those tags myself to use on our wiki and haven't ever released them on MediaWiki.org. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

::I bet you won't tell me how to do it. Well, I guess I'll be [http://iyeru42.info/wiki/index.php/Wiki_of_Iyeru:Userbox#Internet_Info sticking to something that'll break a wiki page]. *sighs* {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

::I added a [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Project:Support_desk/Sections/Unsorted#Adding_Custom_Tags support query] to MediaWiki.org, so we'll see in a few days. Whenever I don't get replies to something, I'm assuming the people are laughing at my ignorance and don't want to tell me because they think I'll figure it on my own. Well, I don't figure stuff like this on my own. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Content Template ==
I was wondering if there was a way I would be able to get the "Content" template that gives shortcuts to the page headlines to not show when my userpage is viewed. It comes up right on my DevonM.com Update Template. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 22:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:I {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:DevonM&diff=558076&oldid=558030 added}} a <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> flag to your user page to suppress the table of contents. If you wanted to move the TOC (rather than completely eliminate it), you can use the <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> flag to put it wherever you want on the page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

== Rush live in Jacksonville, FL ==

Rush recently played a show in Jacksonville Florida. When I browsed the reviews from the rushisaband audience members, someone pointed out that Geddy(Lee, bassist/keyboardist/singer) was wearing a Trogdor shirt! I went to rush.com and saw the pictures from that show with Geddy wearing the shirt![http://www.rush.com/v4.html] You have to click on multimedia, then Rush on the Road, then Jacksonville, and there are 3 pics of him wearing the shirt.

== Asking an Important question (please if you could, reply to my talk page, thanks!) ==

Did the Brother Chaps event the the whole "email comedy genre" where a character answers viewers questions, like Strong Bad. It just that i read on a wiki page for "Ask a Ninja" where it says there, "the format is similar to strong bad email". Is that true, i mean, homestar runner, having the first "email answering comedy?

== Hrm... Classic Game Reference... ==

I was just wondering; did TBC ever reference to [[Wikipedia:Zeliard|Zeliard]] on the site/movies/toons/etc.? If not, I find it kinda odd. Although I guess it is not a very well known old game. It's a side-scrolling RPG, probably the first. (Zelda was an adventure game.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== TBC appearance ==

TBC will be making an appearance at MIT this weekend at an event called "ROFLcon." Dunno if their portion is suitable to be documented or transcripted or whatever, but I thought I'd make people aware. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 21:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

== 16-Bit Color and the movies/toons ==

I noticed that no matter if you have 16-bit or 32-bit color, the homestarrunner.com toons/movies seem to have the same color scheme (IE: No dithering occurs.) Also, recently, the lappy-era toons... you can see the boundaries of the "reflection of light" on the top and left reflections of the lappy screens. A month or two ago, these boundaries were not visible; but now they seem to appear even for 32-bit color. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

'''Videlectrix''' is a fictitious video game company that "makes" most of the games seen on [[homestarrunner.com]]. The brains behind the company Videlectrix were the cover story for January 2005's issue of [[Stookley's Hundredaire Socialite]], as seen in an Easter egg of the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[part-time job]]. In reality, the employees seen are [[The Brothers Chaps]] in fake mustaches.

Videlectrix has three known subsidiaries, ''Videlectrix Films'', which is responsible for the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer|Peasant's Quest movie]] and [[Litigation Jackson]], ''Videlectrix Media'', which manufactures [[Wikipedia:CD-R|CD-Rs]], the type of which is used for [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], and ''Videlectrix Kidx'', which sells the [[Taranchula]] metal detector used in the email [[buried]]. Although the board game company [[Boardelectrix]] and the toy company [[Kidelectrix]] have similar names to Videlectrix, the relationship between these three companies is unknown.

big 'ol brains at Videlectix.com have been 
trying to outdo themselves for some time 
now, and they've finally done it with a 
little game called 'Thy Dungeonman 3.' 
Utilising state-off-the-art amber monochrome 
computer visuals, TD3 will make you want 
to never stop playing this game!!!!!
</blockquote>

===March 21, 2005-April 24, 2006===
<blockquote>
You may not believe it, but we've made yet 
another good-great game. We decided to call 
this one Stinkoman 20X6. Side scrolling action 
means hours of fun scrolling action! 
Springtime's around the corner, and 
coincidentally, so is "Your Videlectrix.com."
</blockquote>

===January 14-March 21, 2005===
<blockquote>
Holy smokes! We managed to make another 
game. This game is a great game and it is 
called 50k Racewalker. Go fast, but not too 
fast! Pace it on over to the game demos 
section and take a few (million) steps. 
You won't (will) be disappointed! Keep 
your crosshairs locked on videlectrix.com, 
or "Good Games HQ."
</blockquote>

===August 30, 2004-January 14, 2005===
<blockquote>
Yowza! We're a real video-game-making-company! 
To prove it, we have a new game called Duck Guardian. 
Slither on over to the Game Demos section and 
guard you some ducks. We're also gearing up for our 
fall lineup of "New Releases and Announced Titles." 
We look forward to seeing you in America's finest 
and friendliest video arcades!
</blockquote>

===February 23-August 30, 2004===
<blockquote>
We're all the time working on the hottest new games and titles. Recently, 
we just finished making 'Thy Dungeonman 2.' We're even thinking of 
making another game in the future! Other projects are too numerous 
and exciting to mention, but you can bet they'll be every bit as good as 
some of our other hot titles. For years, Videlectrix has been busy making 
sure you'll get a chance to love playing our electronic T.V. video games. 
That's practically our middle name. So, keep your eyes peeled for our 
upcoming "Hottest New Games and Titles!!"

==Fun Facts==
*The games in the catalog are presented as stacks of [[Atari 2600]] cartridges.
*The quote "award winning artists such as: our art department" could be a reference to games from the Atari era in which employees remained nameless.
*If the TROGDOR!! game in the catalog is clicked when it is already on the screen, the Secret Collect game description is shown.
*Many Videlectrix games feature incorrect English grammar and spelling due to bad translations, despite the fact the Videlectrix team have been shown to be fluent in English.
*The metadata for all three Stinkoman tunes lists "Homestar Runner" as artist.
*Videlectrix has often been treated as a legitimate video game developer in the real world. In one instance, they were even acknowledged by Nintendo Power magazine.

I COULD UUUUSE SOOME HELLP WITH THE redirects :)

==Public==

Post what you think of me here. hopefully about [[three times halloween funjob| A Million Pounds!]] is positive!

==Big Contributions==

[[Wormdingler]]

[[3d Character Variations]]

[[IGN Interview]]

A bunch of Crazy Crap

==My bottom 10==
10. People who apologize when they didn't do anything wrong.

Under this category also falls people who thank you for like, sending them a file that you asked for help with.
9. People who claim that a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes.

It's actually 1,024. Most storage device manufacturers do this, and it really bugs me. My 200 gigabyte Hard drive is only 189 gigabyte because of this fact.
8. People who claim that you need a full 4.7 gigabytes to store DVD quality video.

A DVD can only hold 4.4 gigabytes (see my 8th worst thing)
DVDs tend to encode the black bars around the screen, rather than just encoding them as blank space.
DVDs tend to have large encoding formats, using x264, one can get a full length movie down to 700 megabytes at near perfect quality, and 1.2 gigabytes is enough for lossless quality.
7. Those Fake message notifications that some people have on their pages.

6. People who need to note every little reference or spelling correction or underscore removal that they add to the wiki.

If the description of the edit is longer than the edit itself, it's really not worth noting.
5. People who act like they know everything.

And when you try to prove them wrong, they:
Say "look it up" as if they know better than you.
Argue semantically, attempting to change the meaning so that it still fits what they said.
Rarely do admit to being proven wrong, but if it happens, no matter how many times it happens, they'll just say "well, this is the first time you've proven me wrong."
4. Vandals

3. Girly girls.

You know, the ones who are always worrying about their hair and stuff. The ones who get upset about stupid things and don't act rational.
2. Losing good friends because they have to move on.

Like, if they get a job elsewhere, or get married and go to live elsewhere, or go to a different school, etc.
1. People who don't respect other peoples' opinions.

Especially people who try to force their ways onto others.

==Big Contributions==

A bunch of Crazy Crap

==My bottom 10==
10. People who apologize when they didn't do anything wrong.

Under this category also falls people who thank you for like, sending them a file that you asked for help with.
9. People who claim that a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes.

It's actually 1,024. Most storage device manufacturers do this, and it really bugs me. My 200 gigabyte Hard drive is only 189 gigabyte because of this fact.
8. People who claim that you need a full 4.7 gigabytes to store DVD quality video.

A DVD can only hold 4.4 gigabytes (see my 8th worst thing)
DVDs tend to encode the black bars around the screen, rather than just encoding them as blank space.
DVDs tend to have large encoding formats, using x264, one can get a full length movie down to 700 megabytes at near perfect quality, and 1.2 gigabytes is enough for lossless quality.
7. Those Fake message notifications that some people have on their pages.

6. People who need to note every little reference or spelling correction or underscore removal that they add to the wiki.

If the description of the edit is longer than the edit itself, it's really not worth noting.
5. People who act like they know everything.

And when you try to prove them wrong, they:
Say "look it up" as if they know better than you.
Argue semantically, attempting to change the meaning so that it still fits what they said.
Rarely do admit to being proven wrong, but if it happens, no matter how many times it happens, they'll just say "well, this is the first time you've proven me wrong."
4. Vandals

3. Girly girls.

You know, the ones who are always worrying about their hair and stuff. The ones who get upset about stupid things and don't act rational.
2. Losing good friends because they have to move on.

Like, if they get a job elsewhere, or get married and go to live elsewhere, or go to a different school, etc.
1. People who don't respect other peoples' opinions.

Especially people who try to force their ways onto others.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got to ''e''-mail, just to stay alive! ''{types "strongbad_email.exe", begins reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: What's the best...</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
How you doin'? I have three quick questions... 
1. What's the best thing you've ever seen? 
2. What's the best thing you've ever done? 
3. What's the best thing you've ever eaten? 
 
Later, 
Albin J. (from Maryland)
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad doesn't read the numbers, and after saying "seen", he immediately follows with "done, eaten." He also whispers "from, from Maryland." Then he clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm doing real real ''{types "rrll rrll"}'' well Albi. Believe it or not, I've got one answer for all three questions. And that answer is...

''{Cut to an image of a video tape labeled "Limozeen cartoon" and "Don't record over for dang's sake!!!"}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{drawn out}'' Limozeen!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon shoooooooow!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' It only aired once at, like, 4 a.m. some forgotten Saturday. And guess who was already up and eating brown sugar straight from the box? That's right, Strong Sad. But then I got up and started watching TV. If not for my The Cheat-like VHS reflexes, it would have been as lost as four-armed Grimace. ''{clears screen}'' I'll let you guys see it, but please, no flash photography or video taping. It could damage the precious oils and heavy metals of this priceless piece of television history.

''{Cut to the cartoon. It opens with "Metalmation" appearing in large block letters, followed by "presents" in cursive.}''

'''SINGER:''' 
Remember those guys from that band Limozeen? 
Well, they turned their tour bus into a space machine! 
But they're still Limozeen!

'''LARRY:''' 
We're still Limozeen!

'''SINGER:''' 
But they're in space!

'''LARRY:''' 
But we're in space?!

''{Now the title screen is shown: LIMOZEEN "but they're in space!" The Limozeen members appear in animated form below. Teeg walks in from stage right.}

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. You're in space!

''{One final chord of the theme song plays.}''

''{Cut to the Couch. Strong Bad is sitting on it, while Strong Sad is leaning on it from behind.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! So classic!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But why are they in space? There's no reason for them to be in space!

'''STRONG BAD:''' On the contrary, my dear Fatson! There's ''every'' reason for them to be in space.

''{Title card for "ENCOUNTER AT GROUPULON 5" by A. Chimendez appears. From there, it cuts to the Limozeen members running away from a pair of flesh-colored hands, a pair of blue hands, and two magenta tentacles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, one of their main goals is to both run away from and give backstage passes to all the hot babe-liens of the galaxy.

''{The Limozeen members run into their tour spaceship.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. None of the hot alien chicks from Groupulon 5 have backstage passes to tonight's show.

'''LARRY:''' Then whose midriffs are we gonna sign?

'''GARY:''' What happened to all the passes, Teeg?

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' Galactic Radio gave them all away. To Mitch Overlord.

''{The members of Limozeen gasp, as we cut to Mitch Overlord's lair. A rock sting of terror is heard}''

'''MITCH OVERLORD:''' That's right, Limozeen! I was the 1,685,421st caller! ''{He raises his claw-like right hand, which says MITCH!, and opens and shuts it twice.}''

''{The members of Limozeen are shown running again, this time from nothing that can be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' And sometimes the magical prankster Bozar appears and turns reality upside-down.

''{cut to Bozar. the sting is barely heard}''

'''BOZAR:''' Puzzle me twice, Limo-losers! How are you going to play tonight's show after I turn your instruments into Italian noodles? 

''{The band is greeted with "boooos" as they attempt to play a concert with their noodle-instruments anyway. A random voice in the crowd yells, "That's not music!" The word NOODLES! appears in lights behind the stage. Mary eats his noodles instead. He pauses to speak.}''

'''MARY:''' This is the best show ever, guys! ''{resumes eating}''

''{Canned laughter is heard.}''

'''LARRY:''' Mary, quit eatin' your drums!

''{Cut to the outside of the tour spaceship flying through space. Nebulon flies past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' But most of all, the episode centers around the boys making sure metal stays number one throughout the galaxy.

''{Cut to spaceship interior}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. We've been knocked off the charts in the Forbidden Zone by an alternative rock band.

'''PERRY:''' But their bassist is a girl!

'''MARY:''' And the drummer's got short hair!

'''LARRY:''' And the lead singer wears glasses!

''{Cut back to the couch. Strong Bad throws the remote at Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ow! What was that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' For you and your kind destroying metal! Chuck Taylor-wearing, low self-esteemers...

''{Cut back to the cartoon. The band is practicing as Teeg walks up to them.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. Our pilot episode has been canceled.

''{the sting is heard a bit louder}''

'''LARRY, GARY, PERRY, and MARY:''' What?

'''GARY:''' Oh well. I guess I won't be needing this anymore. ''{He throws his guitar offscreen.}''

''{Cut to the real Larry on Strong Bad's television, who catches the real equivalent of the guitar.}''

'''LARRY:''' Oh, thanks, Space Gary! I can't believe we got canceled! Weeeeeell, join us next time, kids! In syndication! Or maybe on DVD! ''{plays a short tune as the TV fades out. Strong Bad returns to the Lappy.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whattaya think, Albi? If that's not the best thing you've ever seen, done, or eaten, then may I politely ask you to gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and um, ''{hesitates}'' have all your ''{hesitates again}'' done ''{short pause}'' removed. 

''{The Paper comes down.}

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "brown sugar" to see a box of "[[Suge Brown]]" brown sugar, with the tagline "Don't borrow from thy neighbor" and a weight of "one whole pound".
*At the end of the email, click "eaten" to see a member of Limozeen question his hair color and size:
:'''MARY:''' How come they made me fat and have red hair?
:'''LARRY:''' Because you're the comic relief-uh!
:''{Mary burps very loudly}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The fact that Limozeen's cartoon takes place in space for no good reason is likely a reference to several other cartoons which also took place in space for no reason, like ''[http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-5297/ The Partridge Family, 2200 A.D.]'', ''[http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2345/ Gilligan's Planet]'', and ''[http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7865/ Josie & the Pussycats In Outer Space]'', all of which had extremely short runs (usually only one season).
**The Limozeen cartoon is also likely a riff on [[Wikipedia:Cartoon Network Studios|Hanna-Barbera]] cartoons that featured bands who solved crimes or fought villians. In addition to ''Josie'' there was [[Wikipedia:Jabberjaw|''Jabberjaw'']] and [[Wikipedia:Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids|''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids'']]. Teeg Dougland's repeated mantra of "I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys" is a parody of band managers in such cartoons, who were often only featured as characters for plot exposition.
*Mitch Overlord declaring that "I was the one million, six hundred and eighty-five thousand, four hundred and twenty-first caller" to Galactic Radio is a take on radio promotional giveaways that require that listeners call a number and be the ''n''th caller to get through in order to win the prize.
*In the television industry, [[Wikipedia:Television syndication|syndication]] is the sale of the right to broadcast programs to multiple stations, without going through a broadcast network.
*The laugh track used in one scene is a typical element of older Hanna-Barbera cartoons featuring more realistic characters, intended to incite laughter in the same manner as a sitcom.
*The entire tape of the Limozeen cartoon includes a "VHS grain" effect, most visible during the black METALMATION intro (note how the background appears to be randomly speckled). This artifact of VHS recording results from multiple generation copies, repeated erasing/recording, and from recording in extended tape speeds.

=== Trivia ===
*Teeg Dougland is voiced by [[Mike Chapman]].

=== Remarks ===
*This email gives a good answer to Strong Bad's own question in [[different town]] when he tries to think up the Best Thing Ever, which at the time he identified as beef stew.
*Strong Bad's tape lacks the little tab that can be pushed out to prevent people taping over it, a chief concern with the cartoon tape.
**Strong Bad may have accidentally placed the label of the tape over this tab, however, as the label appears to be too long. This would mean the tape is still recordable, hence adding to his concern.
*Although elements of the Limozeen in Space cartoon such as the animation style and mention of the popularity of hair metal bands seem to suggest that it would have been aired in the '80s, Larry mentions DVDs at the end, which first hit the American market in 1997.
*When Limozeen is flying in the spaceship, the background is looping (there is even a noticeable seam in the background); a common practice in old cartoons. In similar fashion, Limozeen is often shown running away from some off-screen pursuer, using an unchanging run cycle of animation.
*Teeg's announcement that the show has been canceled is interesting from a logistical standpoint: For his line to be animated and voiced, the animators would have to have known the fact while they were animating and recording the voices.
*Mary is always seen looking into the camera, even when the rest of the characters are looking in a different direction.
*This email features a [[live action]] segment.
*Babe-liens is a [[portmanteau]].

=== Goofs ===
*Just before Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy, you see almost his entire head, but you can't see the laces on the back of his mask; usually when they show that much of his head (such as in [[crazy cartoon]]) you see those laces.
*When the space-mobile is flying at supposed hyper-speed, the stars flying by in the background are streaking the wrong way.
*When we see the TV and VCR in Strong Bad's basement, the VCR shows no sign of a tape being inside it nor of any playback. (VCRs typically have some type of counter or a "play" graphic on their display.) This could just be a flashback to the day they watched it, although if it is, there is no record graphic lit up.
*When the tape is being displayed, Strong Bad is supposedly typing (as his spoken line is seen when the Lappy is shown again). However, the typing sound effect is not heard.

=== Inside References ===
*The teleplay for Limozeen's cartoon is written by [[A. Chimendez]].
*Teeg Dougland is the name of the director of the [[Moving Very Slowly]] video on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. He is identified as the manager of the band at the NYU talk during the showing of a Limozeen coloring book 'game'.
*[[The VCR]] is still blinking from [[12:00]] and someone removed the alarm clock that [[Bubs]] duct-taped to it.
*The guitar that Space Gary tosses is the same one seen in [[Puppet Time]].
**It closely resembles a KE3 Kelly model guitar by ''[http://www.jacksonguitars.com/ Jackson]''.
**The guitar was also used in the Limozeen Easter egg in [[flashback]].
*The villain, Mitch Overlord, has a claw that is the same as the one from [[Kick The Cheat]].
*Bozar's horns look very much like Strong Bad's horns from [[3 Wishes]].

=== Real-World References ===
*As a magical, large-headed trickster, Bozar calls to mind such characters [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|the Great Gazoo]] from [[Wikipedia:The Flintstones|''The Flintstones'']], but his insulting manner and fondness for transmutating objects to cause trouble make it clear that he is most strongly inspired by [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] villain, [[Wikipedia:Mister Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]]. His "puzzle me twice" taunt is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Riddler|Riddler]] from the [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|'60s Batman TV show]], in which the villains often taunted the Dynamic Duo by mocking their names. The Riddler's catchphrase was "Riddle me this", immediately followed by an obscure clue as to what his next crime would be.
*"Metalmation" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Filmation|Filmation]] animation studio, with the logos looking very similar. Filmation was famous for churning out cookie-cutter cartoons many of which also took place in space for no good reason.
*The repeated "band being chased" segments may be a reference to a Hanna-Barbera 70's staple of stock-footage chase scenes, which appeared most prominently in [[Wikipedia:Scooby-Doo|Scooby-Doo]]. Also, this may refer to the [[Wikipedia:Beatles|Beatles]], who spent a good deal of "A Hard Day's Night"—a typical day in the life of the band—running away from adoring female fans. [[Image:evil-grimace.jpg|thumb|Four-armed Grimace]]
*"Four-armed Grimace" is a reference to the purple [[Wikipedia:McDonaldland|McDonaldland]] character. [[Wikipedia:Grimace|Grimace]] was originally named "The Evil Grimace", and he had four arms (replaced with two arms a few years later) so that he could hold many shakes at once.
*"On the contrary, my dear Fatson" is an adaptation of "Elementary, my dear Watson", a line often attributed to Sir [[Wikipedia:Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur Conan Doyle's]] character [[Wikipedia:Sherlock Holmes|Sherlock Holmes]], though he never actually used that exact phrase in the Holmesian canon.
*The space logo of Limozeen is very similar to the logo of the Nintendo game series [[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]].
*Mary asking "How come they made me fat and have red hair?" draws attention to the manipulation of characters in cartoon adaptations to clearly defined sterotypical roles. In particular, Mary's question references the cartoon [http://www.tvtome.com/RealGhostbusters/ ''The Real Ghostbusters''], where the [[Wikipedia:Dan Aykroyd|Dan Aykroyd]] character (from the ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' film) was modified into an overweight redhead.
*Limozeen being kicked off the charts by an alternative band with a girl bassist references the death of hair metal in the early '90s, when bands like [[Wikipedia:Sonic Youth|Sonic Youth]], [[Wikipedia:The Pixies|The Pixies]] and [[Wikipedia:The Smashing Pumpkins|the Smashing Pumpkins]] were able to have success. (The aforementioned bands actually all had female bassists.)
*The phrase "Chuck Taylor wearin'..." refers to [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars]], designed by Chuck Taylor. "Chucks" are a signature look of Grunge, Punk, and Metal that happened after 1990.
*The scene at the end, where the cartoon throws the guitar to the real-life band member, pokes fun at almost every '80s cartoon that had a (semi) famous person behind it—where the cartoon would transition/interact with the real person from off screen: Fat Albert, Alf, M.C. Hammer, Mr. T, the Harlem Globetrotters, and many others all closed the episode with the real-world people.
*"Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a reference to Encounter at Farpoint (the first episode of ''[[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'') and the award-winning TV series [[Wikipedia:Bablyon 5|Babylon 5]].
*The alternative rock band described is a description of [[They Might Be Giants]].

=== Fast Forward ===
*An episode of ''Limozeen: "but they're in space!"'' was "relegated to DVD bonus content" on [[Everything Else, Volume 3]].

== DVD Version ==
*Strong Bad starts his grand announcement about the tape's contents slightly sooner, obscuring the singers (who are even quieter and more indistinct than usual).
*A different transition is used to show the "real-life" Limozeen members becoming their animated counterparts.
*Bozar's horns are yellow rather than green.
*No laughter can be heard in response to Mary's "best show ever" line.
*Strong Bad looks to both sides before throwing [[Remote Control|the remote]] at Strong Sad.
*"And, um, done." is added before "have all your done removed."
*This version of the cartoon is also used in the podcast.
*A credits sequence is added after Larry's real-life bit (see below).
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Mike, hey Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Hi Strong Bad, hi Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's the Strong Bad. The Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''The'' Strong Bad? ... So, Strong Bad, I gotta tell ya. This is my favorite email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow!

'''MIKE:''' I'm really gonna enjoy this one. I'm glad to be here with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm glad to be here with you, Mike. You just took a shower; you smell nice.

'''MIKE:''' I actually played basketball this morning and have not showered since then.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Interestingly enough.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, you mask it well!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Thanks. ''{pause}'' I thought it was gonna be you that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? I faked you out. That's, that's what it's like when you live with the Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I can't imagine.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Four-armed Grimace, Mike. A relic. I have a four-armed Grimace diary, like the Grail diary, from ''Indiana Jones''.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' All these little pits—

'''MIKE:''' Bits of evidence?

'''STRONG BAD:''' —pits and teeses ''{rhymes with "bits and pieces"}'' of where, of where he might have been.

'''MIKE:''' You know, Strong Bad, my brother Matt and I were in a band called Grimace in high school.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Was it as good as Limozeen?

'''MIKE:''' We were never as good as Limozeen.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I don't understand is how come the theme song is, like, this terrible banjo song with some skat band singing.

'''MIKE:''' That's the way cartoons were back then.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But they're a metal band!

'''MIKE:''' Well, you can't put metal on Saturday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I love Teeg's style, I gotta tell you what. That, I have, I sought out a light-blue turtleneck and some peach-colored—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Peach-colored-type pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. With flared at the bottom for sure.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah; it's good style.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, does he have a problem with people remembering his name? Why is he, like, nobody else is labeled. Like, personally I have trouble telling the Limozeens apart.

'''MIKE:''' Well, it's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at that hot, blue alien. D'ja see her?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I saw her hand.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hot Blues. I call her Hot Blues.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think it's 'cause—Do they ever say Teeg's name? I guess they say Teeg—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''somebody'' does.

'''MIKE:''' —but no one ever knows—Teeg Dougland, this is his first appearance.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I don't know ''his'' name ''{indicating one of the Limozeens}''. What's his name? "Lead Singer Limozeen"?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's Gary. That's Gary and Larry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How do you tell 'em apart?!

'''MIKE:''' Because I—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that guy is awesome. Mitch Overlord, I wish he was in more episodes of this show that has just one episode.

'''MIKE:''' He's labeled, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''{laughing}'' people have—I guess, I guess kids are pretty dumb. You know? So that's what I'm saying. Now that guy doesn't have a label, but you're not gonna mix him up with—Look at those disgusting horns, like, tearing, are those, those are an accident, bursting out of his brain.

'''MIKE:''' Man that bass player is really trying.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Noodles! Noodles! Noodles! Noodles! The crowd should be goin' nuts right now! Man, anytime something flashes in big lights behind the band at a show, you chant it! You know?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I agree, I agree.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I agree too.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Okay, you agree with yourself.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' Apparently Teeg Dougland looks exactly like me, Strong Bad. What do you think?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't, I don't see the resemblance.

'''MIKE:''' Me either.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think you look kinda like that tall guy in the middle ''{one of the Limozeens}''.

'''MIKE:''' I definitely don't—that's Perry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's Perry. How do you know these guys—they're my favorite band, I can't tell them apart! The only one I know is the one they made be fat and have orange hair. Like, I appreciate that, that that's Ron.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's Mary. Ron?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Ron Limozeen.

'''MIKE:''' His name is Mary Palaroncini.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, his name is Mary?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a guy in Limozeen named Mary?!

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

''{They watch the transition to the live action.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Whoa, who's that guy?

'''MIKE:''' Live-action cut scene.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man! See, that—it would be awesome to have the real band.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Strong Bad, look behind you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' That's where we are, right there, that sound room that he's in.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy from Limozeen was in this sound room?

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, it's almost like this is real, live, fake subtitles.

''{Mike laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, Brett Bretterson is the worst animator, did you know that?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I thought I was.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah, you are. There's that Bubs, that starts runnin' at me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{still laughing}'' I made your, I made your head wiggle right here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good job!

'''MIKE:''' Thanks!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is a painful operation.

==Welcom to Me==

Hello Monsterman - [[unnatural]]

Im a song from the sixties and i love the captain of the gravy train climb abbbbooooord

beats breaking up with [[Wormdingler]]

Im the Founder of the keep wormdingler say no to mergination coaltion

I-I-I-I am gonna be asysop sooomeday sunnnndayyyy sundayyyy

The end physicsguuuuuy

Check Out my New [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=13903&start=0 Question thing]

NOTE TO THE WOOOORRRLD I MIIGHT (AAAND BYY MIGHT IIII MEAN WIIIL) SAY COMPLETELY RANFOM THINGS LIKE MAKE ME A SYSOP OR ADMIN OR RULER OF THE TIME SPAAAACE CoNTINU...UM BUT IT IS JUST TRYINGTO THINK OF SOMETHING TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I COULD UUUUSE SOOME HELLP WITH THE redirects :)

==Public==

Post what you think of me here. hopefully about [[three times halloween funjob| A Million Pounds!]] is positive!

==Big Contributions==

[[Wormdingler]]

[[3d Character Variations]]

[[IGN Interview]]

A bunch of Crazy Crap

==My bottom 10==
10. People who apologize when they didn't do anything wrong.

Under this category also falls people who thank you for like, sending them a file that you asked for help with.
9. People who claim that a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes.

It's actually 1,024. Most storage device manufacturers do this, and it really bugs me. My 200 gigabyte Hard drive is only 189 gigabyte because of this fact.
8. People who claim that you need a full 4.7 gigabytes to store DVD quality video.

A DVD can only hold 4.4 gigabytes (see my 8th worst thing)
DVDs tend to encode the black bars around the screen, rather than just encoding them as blank space.
DVDs tend to have large encoding formats, using x264, one can get a full length movie down to 700 megabytes at near perfect quality, and 1.2 gigabytes is enough for lossless quality.
7. Those Fake message notifications that some people have on their pages.

6. People who need to note every little reference or spelling correction or underscore removal that they add to the wiki.

If the description of the edit is longer than the edit itself, it's really not worth noting.
5. People who act like they know everything.

And when you try to prove them wrong, they:
Say "look it up" as if they know better than you.
Argue semantically, attempting to change the meaning so that it still fits what they said.
Rarely do admit to being proven wrong, but if it happens, no matter how many times it happens, they'll just say "well, this is the first time you've proven me wrong."
4. Vandals

3. Girly girls.

You know, the ones who are always worrying about their hair and stuff. The ones who get upset about stupid things and don't act rational.
2. Losing good friends because they have to move on.

Like, if they get a job elsewhere, or get married and go to live elsewhere, or go to a different school, etc.
1. People who don't respect other peoples' opinions.

Especially people who try to force their ways onto others.

A bunch of Crazy Crap

==My bottom 10==
10. People who apologize when they didn't do anything wrong.

Under this category also falls people who thank you for like, sending them a file that you asked for help with.
9. People who claim that a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes.

It's actually 1,024. Most storage device manufacturers do this, and it really bugs me. My 200 gigabyte Hard drive is only 189 gigabyte because of this fact.
8. People who claim that you need a full 4.7 gigabytes to store DVD quality video.

A DVD can only hold 4.4 gigabytes (see my 8th worst thing)
DVDs tend to encode the black bars around the screen, rather than just encoding them as blank space.
DVDs tend to have large encoding formats, using x264, one can get a full length movie down to 700 megabytes at near perfect quality, and 1.2 gigabytes is enough for lossless quality.
7. Those Fake message notifications that some people have on their pages.

6. People who need to note every little reference or spelling correction or underscore removal that they add to the wiki.

If the description of the edit is longer than the edit itself, it's really not worth noting.
5. People who act like they know everything.

And when you try to prove them wrong, they:
Say "look it up" as if they know better than you.
Argue semantically, attempting to change the meaning so that it still fits what they said.
Rarely do admit to being proven wrong, but if it happens, no matter how many times it happens, they'll just say "well, this is the first time you've proven me wrong."
4. Vandals

3. Girly girls.

You know, the ones who are always worrying about their hair and stuff. The ones who get upset about stupid things and don't act rational.
2. Losing good friends because they have to move on.

Like, if they get a job elsewhere, or get married and go to live elsewhere, or go to a different school, etc.
1. People who don't respect other peoples' opinions.

Especially people who try to force their ways onto others.

==Article discussions==

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 17]] (Apr 21-27) ===
Perhaps another pseudocharacter. How about [[Drive-Thru Whale]] or [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
:I think it might be too soon for a pseudocharacter. We have [[Frank Benedetto]] and possibly [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] in about a month's span. How about another category of article, such as [[TV Shows]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::To do that one, we'd need to expand its prose intro by at least a few sentences. Anyone want to do that? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How 'bout [[Atari 2600]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::This one would also definitely need an expansion of the intro first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Then how 'bout [[Atari Dragon]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::I like the idea of featuring [[Atari 2600]]. Let me take a stab at trying to expand that intro... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::It's probably long enough now by a hair (if anyone can expand a bit more, it would be great, but we can probably live with it now). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 18]] (Apr 28-May 4) ===
How about doing a name used commonly in the website, like [[Dennis]], [[Dan]] or [[Douglas]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say that [[Dan]] is the biggest running gag. However, the intro would need to be expanded in order to get on the FA page. The other two, I think are pretty short. (Though [[Dennis]] is close...) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
::But Dennis has the longest intro. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I do like [[Dennis]] better. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm not convinced either of these is really ready to feature right now. For [[Dan]], the problem is that the intro is too short, making it hard to make a substantial write-up. By contrast, the intro of [[Dennis]] is fine, but there is scant content outside the intro. Remember, the writeup has that link saying '''(more...)'''. We need to have something, and not just a little bit, that makes that link worthwhile, and I don't think Dennis is really there yet. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Then how about doing something entirely different, like [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::That article always has been, and I suspect always will be, too speculatory to belong on our main page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::How about [[Strong Bad's Mount Ridesplace USA]], then? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Hmm, we don't feature places too often, so that could be interesting... not to mention that the article includes one of my favourite jokes in the HR canon: the old Riverquest Safariventure. The intro could possibly use a teeny expansion to make this work, but I generally like the idea. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::MAYBE we could do [[Craig Zobel]] or a secret page on the site? Of course i dont this'll be too popular but [[3d Character Variations]]? would definitely need an expanded intro but id do that if any one wanted me to. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 12:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 19]] (May 5-11) ===
[[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:That one would need to be expanded a bit. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Although I like this article, and just expanded it, I would wait on it for now. We don't have that many relationship articles, especially ones fit to feature, and we did feature SB and HR's relationship not long ago. I'd hate for us to exhaust them so soon. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

As much as I feel embarrassed to nominate an article I worked on, what about the [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007]]? Even if we don't take it now, something to get the ball rolling on an empty week... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:09, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
:How about [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]]? At least that one has a picture. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::My 2 ideas are [[sbcg4ap]] or [[sbasaf]] I forgot the squigglies [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 12:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 20]] (May 12-18) ===
Either a week of entertainment running gags or 1 gag featured the whole week. (I think if we only had to pick 1, [[Peanuts]] is the worthiest) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:Well, the only problem with that one is that its intro would have to be DRASTICALLY expanded. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::How about featuring a classic toon. [[A Jorb Well Done]] is long overdue for being featured. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::A Jorb Well Done is a fine toon, and should definitely be featured. There's even enough enticing trivia to expand on it (namely the bit about it originally being animated in an older style, and then updated. The only toon I know of to go through a reanimationing and style change). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 21]] (May 19-25) ===
A Food or Drinks Running Gag. How about [[General Tso's Chicken]], [[Fluffy Puff]], [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], or [[Homestar Jr.]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:Not exactly running gags, but meh. Fluffy Puffs have been around forever and are clearly important in the H*R universe. I think they'd make a good feature (though the article might need a little improvement). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
::Besides, we already did a foods week [[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection/Discussion_Archive_2007_Weeks_41-52#HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2007.2C_week_41_.28Oct_8-14.29|not that long ago...]] [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] would be a worthy possibility for a week long feature (and it was suggested as a possibility in the earlier discussion). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about a ''clothing'' running gag? Like [[Bowler Hats]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, we already have three people interested in featuring Fluffy Puffs. Can you contribute a bit to the discussion by explaining why you think we ought to look at Bowler Hats instead? Remember, this is a discussion, not a vote, and just throwing out ideas without responding to previous suggestions doesn't really help. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the Fluffy Puff ones was on a different week. Sorry, my mistake. Sure, we can do Fluffy Puff. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 22]] (May 26-Jun 1) ===

Heading into summer - how about a week of featuring emails which introduced important songs and musical motifs? I'm thinking [[guitar]], [[techno]], [[death metal]], [[different town]], [[concert]], [[candy product]], and end it with [[rock opera]]. Order might be better switched up a little. Believe it or not, none have been featured, and all are of importance to TBC's musical ouevre. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm really tired of these suggestions for running daily FAs. Most of the time, the suggested daily articles usually important enough to be featured for the entire week or too short to be noted at all. The emails noted here are a good example of this problem. [[guitar]] or [[techno]], for example, are very important emails, and should get a week by themselves. In fact, any of the suggested emails should get an entire week. Personally, I'd start with [[techno]] for this week, and leave the rest for a later time. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::Well, your position is definitely noted. I don't think we do dailies all that often. When we do, it's due to a strong theme and a series of strong contributors to that theme. I would agree that the two emails you cite, along with several of the others, ''could'' get a week to themselves. The fact that they all reside on the nomination list and have never been featured is conspicuous. And this also delves into why we feature articles in the first place - is it to give every article its due, or to give the visitor their due? I think a week of dailies compels the visitor to return, to maybe get active. I think they are good things for the wiki. I can see how others might argue to the contrary, and that's cool. I kinda think this idea is a strong one. Just my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about [[Summer Short Shorts]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I think that would be more appropriate to feature when it's actually summer rather than the end of May. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::How about [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]? Or maybe a character in it like [[Eh! Steve!]] (my idea was previously rejected above.) {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::Okay, I'm game for that. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Well, Sweet Cuppin' Cakes is an excellent idea I will support. But please remember my themed musical week when enough time has passed for such a daily week to be appropriate, if you would. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I certainly will. Let's let it go for a while and then see. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 23]] (Jun 2-8) ===
How about doing a short? Like an OLD short, such as... [[Strong Bad Sings]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'd go with that. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
::Do you think there's enough content there for a decent writeup? It's a pretty short toon with no real plot, so I'm not so sure. Maybe someone would like to take a stab at it in their userspace and see if we can get a writeup? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Well then, how about [[Kick the Can]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 24]] (Jun 9-15) ===
I'm up for an important place. There always been '''[[The Field]]''', '''[[The Stick]]''' and '''[[Homestar Runner's House]]'''? However, [[The Field]] would '''drastically''' need an intro cleanup, and [[The Stick]] would need an intro cleanup too. [[Homestar Runner's House]] is the best choice, so I'd go with that. That's '''always''' been around since like '''day 5'''. Unless anybody else can think of something else, I'm for Homestar's House. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say we do [[Homestar Runner's House]]. Of course, The Stick and especially The Field have been around forever, but as you said they need to be updated, so the armless white guy's abode would be the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:Maintenance coming in: We're going to far out in terms of dates right now. We're now talking about eleven weeks ahead of today; we really should keep the discussions a little closer than this. Go ahead and discuss this one, but could we please not add any more weeks for a bit? Thanks. Resume discussion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, and if I might make a bit of a plug: I'm working on a subpage about guidelines for FAS: [[User:Heimstern Läufer/FAS]]. I welcome comments and improvements, especially from any regulars in the discussion here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 25]] (Jun 16-22) ===
[[A Folky Tale]]? Full-length toon with quite a bit of content, not to mention funny. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:I hate to burst your bubble, but if we're going to be featuring A Jorb Well Done for Week 20, then maybe we should do something else, so that we don't have to worry about exhausting everything instantly. I think that's what you said about "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship". I would like to feature this, though; just not so soon. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the comparison is not exactly valid. There are many toon articles that can be featured, but few relationship articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, alright, I guess we can do it, then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 26]] (Jun 23-29) ===
How about [[Summer Short Shorts]]? It would have to be summer by now. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps another pseudocharacter. How about [[Drive-Thru Whale]] or [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
:I think it might be too soon for a pseudocharacter. We have [[Frank Benedetto]] and possibly [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] in about a month's span. How about another category of article, such as [[TV Shows]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::To do that one, we'd need to expand its prose intro by at least a few sentences. Anyone want to do that? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How 'bout [[Atari 2600]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::This one would also definitely need an expansion of the intro first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Then how 'bout [[Atari Dragon]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::I like the idea of featuring [[Atari 2600]]. Let me take a stab at trying to expand that intro... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::It's probably long enough now by a hair (if anyone can expand a bit more, it would be great, but we can probably live with it now). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 18]] (Apr 28-May 4) ===
How about doing a name used commonly in the website, like [[Dennis]], [[Dan]] or [[Douglas]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say that [[Dan]] is the biggest running gag. However, the intro would need to be expanded in order to get on the FA page. The other two, I think are pretty short. (Though [[Dennis]] is close...) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
::But Dennis has the longest intro. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I do like [[Dennis]] better. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm not convinced either of these is really ready to feature right now. For [[Dan]], the problem is that the intro is too short, making it hard to make a substantial write-up. By contrast, the intro of [[Dennis]] is fine, but there is scant content outside the intro. Remember, the writeup has that link saying '''(more...)'''. We need to have something, and not just a little bit, that makes that link worthwhile, and I don't think Dennis is really there yet. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Then how about doing something entirely different, like [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::That article always has been, and I suspect always will be, too speculatory to belong on our main page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::How about [[Strong Bad's Mount Ridesplace USA]], then? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Hmm, we don't feature places too often, so that could be interesting... not to mention that the article includes one of my favourite jokes in the HR canon: the old Riverquest Safariventure. The intro could possibly use a teeny expansion to make this work, but I generally like the idea. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::MAYBE we could do [[Craig Zobel]] or a secret page on the site? Of course i dont this'll be too popular but [[3d Character Variations]]? would definitely need an expanded intro but id do that if any one wanted me to.

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 19]] (May 5-11) ===
[[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:That one would need to be expanded a bit. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Although I like this article, and just expanded it, I would wait on it for now. We don't have that many relationship articles, especially ones fit to feature, and we did feature SB and HR's relationship not long ago. I'd hate for us to exhaust them so soon. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

As much as I feel embarrassed to nominate an article I worked on, what about the [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007]]? Even if we don't take it now, something to get the ball rolling on an empty week... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:09, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
:How about [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]]? At least that one has a picture. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::My 2 ideas are [[sbcg4ap]] or [[sbasaf]]

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 20]] (May 12-18) ===
Either a week of entertainment running gags or 1 gag featured the whole week. (I think if we only had to pick 1, [[Peanuts]] is the worthiest) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:Well, the only problem with that one is that its intro would have to be DRASTICALLY expanded. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::How about featuring a classic toon. [[A Jorb Well Done]] is long overdue for being featured. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::A Jorb Well Done is a fine toon, and should definitely be featured. There's even enough enticing trivia to expand on it (namely the bit about it originally being animated in an older style, and then updated. The only toon I know of to go through a reanimationing and style change). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 21]] (May 19-25) ===
A Food or Drinks Running Gag. How about [[General Tso's Chicken]], [[Fluffy Puff]], [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], or [[Homestar Jr.]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:Not exactly running gags, but meh. Fluffy Puffs have been around forever and are clearly important in the H*R universe. I think they'd make a good feature (though the article might need a little improvement). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
::Besides, we already did a foods week [[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection/Discussion_Archive_2007_Weeks_41-52#HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2007.2C_week_41_.28Oct_8-14.29|not that long ago...]] [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] would be a worthy possibility for a week long feature (and it was suggested as a possibility in the earlier discussion). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about a ''clothing'' running gag? Like [[Bowler Hats]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, we already have three people interested in featuring Fluffy Puffs. Can you contribute a bit to the discussion by explaining why you think we ought to look at Bowler Hats instead? Remember, this is a discussion, not a vote, and just throwing out ideas without responding to previous suggestions doesn't really help. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the Fluffy Puff ones was on a different week. Sorry, my mistake. Sure, we can do Fluffy Puff. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 22]] (May 26-Jun 1) ===

Heading into summer - how about a week of featuring emails which introduced important songs and musical motifs? I'm thinking [[guitar]], [[techno]], [[death metal]], [[different town]], [[concert]], [[candy product]], and end it with [[rock opera]]. Order might be better switched up a little. Believe it or not, none have been featured, and all are of importance to TBC's musical ouevre. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm really tired of these suggestions for running daily FAs. Most of the time, the suggested daily articles usually important enough to be featured for the entire week or too short to be noted at all. The emails noted here are a good example of this problem. [[guitar]] or [[techno]], for example, are very important emails, and should get a week by themselves. In fact, any of the suggested emails should get an entire week. Personally, I'd start with [[techno]] for this week, and leave the rest for a later time. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::Well, your position is definitely noted. I don't think we do dailies all that often. When we do, it's due to a strong theme and a series of strong contributors to that theme. I would agree that the two emails you cite, along with several of the others, ''could'' get a week to themselves. The fact that they all reside on the nomination list and have never been featured is conspicuous. And this also delves into why we feature articles in the first place - is it to give every article its due, or to give the visitor their due? I think a week of dailies compels the visitor to return, to maybe get active. I think they are good things for the wiki. I can see how others might argue to the contrary, and that's cool. I kinda think this idea is a strong one. Just my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about [[Summer Short Shorts]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I think that would be more appropriate to feature when it's actually summer rather than the end of May. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::How about [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]? Or maybe a character in it like [[Eh! Steve!]] (my idea was previously rejected above.) {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::Okay, I'm game for that. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Well, Sweet Cuppin' Cakes is an excellent idea I will support. But please remember my themed musical week when enough time has passed for such a daily week to be appropriate, if you would. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I certainly will. Let's let it go for a while and then see. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 23]] (Jun 2-8) ===
How about doing a short? Like an OLD short, such as... [[Strong Bad Sings]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'd go with that. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
::Do you think there's enough content there for a decent writeup? It's a pretty short toon with no real plot, so I'm not so sure. Maybe someone would like to take a stab at it in their userspace and see if we can get a writeup? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Well then, how about [[Kick the Can]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 24]] (Jun 9-15) ===
I'm up for an important place. There always been '''[[The Field]]''', '''[[The Stick]]''' and '''[[Homestar Runner's House]]'''? However, [[The Field]] would '''drastically''' need an intro cleanup, and [[The Stick]] would need an intro cleanup too. [[Homestar Runner's House]] is the best choice, so I'd go with that. That's '''always''' been around since like '''day 5'''. Unless anybody else can think of something else, I'm for Homestar's House. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say we do [[Homestar Runner's House]]. Of course, The Stick and especially The Field have been around forever, but as you said they need to be updated, so the armless white guy's abode would be the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:Maintenance coming in: We're going to far out in terms of dates right now. We're now talking about eleven weeks ahead of today; we really should keep the discussions a little closer than this. Go ahead and discuss this one, but could we please not add any more weeks for a bit? Thanks. Resume discussion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, and if I might make a bit of a plug: I'm working on a subpage about guidelines for FAS: [[User:Heimstern Läufer/FAS]]. I welcome comments and improvements, especially from any regulars in the discussion here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 25]] (Jun 16-22) ===
[[A Folky Tale]]? Full-length toon with quite a bit of content, not to mention funny. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:I hate to burst your bubble, but if we're going to be featuring A Jorb Well Done for Week 20, then maybe we should do something else, so that we don't have to worry about exhausting everything instantly. I think that's what you said about "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship". I would like to feature this, though; just not so soon. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the comparison is not exactly valid. There are many toon articles that can be featured, but few relationship articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, alright, I guess we can do it, then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Heading into summer - how about a week of featuring emails which introduced important songs and musical motifs? I'm thinking [[guitar]], [[techno]], [[death metal]], [[different town]], [[concert]], [[candy product]], and end it with [[rock opera]]. Order might be better switched up a little. Believe it or not, none have been featured, and all are of importance to TBC's musical ouevre. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm really tired of these suggestions for running daily FAs. Most of the time, the suggested daily articles usually important enough to be featured for the entire week or too short to be noted at all. The emails noted here are a good example of this problem. [[guitar]] or [[techno]], for example, are very important emails, and should get a week by themselves. In fact, any of the suggested emails should get an entire week. Personally, I'd start with [[techno]] for this week, and leave the rest for a later time. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::Well, your position is definitely noted. I don't think we do dailies all that often. When we do, it's due to a strong theme and a series of strong contributors to that theme. I would agree that the two emails you cite, along with several of the others, ''could'' get a week to themselves. The fact that they all reside on the nomination list and have never been featured is conspicuous. And this also delves into why we feature articles in the first place - is it to give every article its due, or to give the visitor their due? I think a week of dailies compels the visitor to return, to maybe get active. I think they are good things for the wiki. I can see how others might argue to the contrary, and that's cool.

== Sonic the Hedgehog 3 reference ==

When the island Strong Bad is standing on is sinking and he says something about killing end bosses, I think it's a reference to STH3 when, after defeating the final boss of the game, Angel Island falls from the sky and lands in the sea. There's also another game, Sonic & Knuckles, where I think the island actually floats into the sky again, again after defeating the final boss. [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 15:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

:::The wikipedia article on load bearing bosses has been reinstated, so I have put the link back in.

I therefore have left the explanation of what a load bearing boss is on the hrwiki article, so that when/if something changes on wikipedia readers will still have an explaination. [[User:Schaedenfreud82|Schaedenfreud82]] 10:43, 12 June 2007

:I thought it was a reference to Street Fighter, where Ryu ends up in the middle of the ocean after beating Akuma (Note Strong Bad's white Bandana). [[User:tehpie|tehpie]] 20:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

:It can't be a Sonic 3 (& Knuckles) reference, Angel Island is being held up by the master emerald, Robotnik stole that and the island fell into the ocean. At the end of the game your chosen character gets the emerald back (Off Robotnik as Sonic/Tails, Off Super Mecha-Sonic as Knuckles) and the island rises back into the sky as the credits are rolling. - [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 00:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's a reference to the secret best ending of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' in which the island does sink amid a sunset, and the regular ending in which K. Rool falls into the water which is full of sharks. I added it to the page, but it was almost instantly removed. Although I'm very convinced this is the reference, there so much potential references is seems impossible to make any kind of argument in favor of one game without invoking accusations of TTATOT. [[User:16BitJorge|16BitJorge]] 00:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

:I could be wrong, but I think it's a reference to Contra. The music was deliciously 8-bit. The game ends with you leaving in a helicopter as the island explodes/sinks into the ocean. Of course, I could be wrong.[[User:StrongRad|StrongRad]] 03:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
::And of course, the number of possibilities displayed on this talk page makes TTATOT evident. --[[User:24.222.241.186|24.222.241.186]] 11:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, I thought of Contra as well. The music, no, but the scene, yes. --[[User:AshyRaccoon|AshyRaccoon]] 02:43, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The scene on the island is admittedly ambiguous; there are lots of references made to lots of video games, most likely including Contra, Bionic Commando, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Street Fighter. However, the article doesn't say that the scene is a reference to load-bearing bosses; it says that Strong Bad's comment ("I didn't even kill any end bosses") is such a reference. I'm pretty certain that, regardless of all those references, the comment itself is a specific reference to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (and no, not Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which is a separate game with a separate ending). At the end of this game, you kill the final boss, which results in the temporary loss of the Master Emerald, which results in the floating Angel Island falling through the sky and into the ocean. In what other game does killing the end boss result in an island sinking into the ocean?
Further, in the previous email, number 172, More Armies, Homestar has a line about "firing up his old sega tapes," which, if anything, would seem to strengthen my position.
Perhaps the Explanations section should read more like the following:

The island scene in which Strong Bad is rescued by The Paper is an ambiguous reference to load bearing bosses... [etc.]

Followed by a second bullet, or even multiple bullets, which could be about the comment itself (and any other specific references):

For example, Strong Bad's comment about not having killed any end bosses is a reference to Sonic the Hedgehog 3, in which the island on which the game takes place falls into the sea after defeating the final boss. The rescue, which puts The Paper in the role of a rope-ladder attached to an unseen helicopter, is a reference to Bionic Commando. The tattered headband Strong Bad wears is a reference to Street Fighter; and the sunset and 8-bit style music could be references to Contra.

It just doesn't seem fair to say "Strong Bad's comment" is a reference to all of these different games, when 1) there's such a clear correlation between the comment and one game in particular, and 2) there are so many separate references made to all of these games that have absolutely nothing to do with the comment at all.
:In ''[[Wikipedia:Skies of Arcadia|Skies of Arcadia]]'', the continent of Soltis sinks back into the Great Cloud Sea whence it came after beating Ramirez and Zelos. Sky islands count just as much as water islands. So there's another sinking continent game. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

::In chrono trigger, the black omen sinks into the sea after it's defeated. The kingdom of zeal also sinks into the sea after that boss is completed. Also, your claim about the "sega tapes" is not enough of a connection, as TBC are video game lovers and thus reference all aspects of all systems a lot. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:Again, though, it seems more like a specific reference in relation to Sonic 3. The Skies of Arcadia example is of a sinking continent, not a sinking island. The Chrono Trigger example sounds like you're defeating an island-boss, which then sinks into the ocean because you just defeated it. Neither of these examples seem as relevant to Strong Bad's quote as the Sonic example, which is literally an island that sinks after killing the end boss. I'd be more tempted to agree that this is a blanket reference if we were debating the relevance of the island sinking with Strong Bad standing on it. However, since we're talking about the very specific reference in the form of the words that come out of Strong Bad's mouth, it seems that we should honor that reference with the very specific piece of gaming to which it seems to directly refer -- or, as I said, remove that specific reference entirely, in favor of one about the more ambiguous set of references made by the scene as a whole.
::The chrono trigger example is you beat an end boss and the island sinks. How is that not the same? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:::I'm sorry, I misunderstood you; "the black omen sinks into the sea after it's defeated" sounds like the Black Omen sinks when you defeat the Black Omen.
::::And the kingdom of zeal? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
::::::I suppose the Kingdom of Zeal is an island? In which case you're right, then that would fit as well.
:::::::The Kingdom of Zeal is a series of islands that float in the sky. After you beat the Ocean Palace, Lavos, the end boss of the game, rains laser beams from the sky, and Zeal crashes into the continent it's floating above. I think it's only floating from Lavos' power anyway. It's not really an example of sinking islands, although most of the continent is destroyed when Zeal crashes into it. The Black Omen also flies, but I can't remember what happens to it in the end. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 05:37, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Numbers like that are a running gag in the tv industry for usless characters.Usually it's 0 or 1/2,though.

Been having trouble defending myself (like anyone ever agrees with me 9_9) thanks to Wiki hiccups (Wikkups?) Anyway, first of all, I'm not sure moving this off STUFF was a good idea. Secondly, we have a longstanding tradition of not putting things in Fun Facts that are already mentioned in some other fashion — generally through the transcript, such as Strong Sad's face appearing in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], or the emails in [[do over]]. This isn't LITERALLY in the transcript, but it's pretty close. How is this different? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
:First of all, why would STUFF be better? This discussion isn't about ''whether'' to note something, but ''where'' and ''how'' to note it. In addition, there are more than two choices: we could note it in the Easter egg section, the inside references section, or both. Finally, the result of this thread could have implications for other toons, so a talk page would be a better place to hold such a discussion, as it allows for greater nuance.
:    I was under the impression that we linked in the transcript when we just couldn't find a place to link somewhere else. That is, transcript links are for things that aren't really ''referenced'' so much as they just make an appearance in the toon. Take the [[BMW lighter]], for example. If it shows up in a toon, it should be linked in the transcript so that someone unfamiliar with it can look it up, but its mere presence doesn't constitute a reference per se. On the other hand, the Easter egg in this toon is definitely making reference to [[One Two, One Two]]. It is, by definition, an inside reference, and so it seems logical to me that it should go in the inside references section. If we want to ''also'' hang a link in the Easter eggs section for clarity, then I have no problem with that either. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
:: I suppose some of what you say makes sense, but a significant problem with Talk pages: visibility. Too many topics go unnoticed on Talk pages around here. If this IS an important issue, you're cutting into visibility putting it here. Heck, since it's been moved here, only one person who wasn't already in the discussion has joined in. We've had important issues indirectly on STUFF pages through related Fun Facts before. Now then, as for your points regarding appearances, I see what you're getting at, but this looks to be something of a gray issue to me. Again I bring up [[do over]]. The the emails being referred to, or are they simply appearing? (Of course, this issue is probably less gray than that, but still...) Furthermore, I apologize if I've seemed harsh, but between real-world stress and decisions that appear to be made with no consensus or discussion (sometimes, the decision to which I refer is NOT to let there be a consensus or discussion on something else) and little to no explanation, I'm getting angry over little things, like removal of this discussion from STUFF, pretty easily right now.

== Dribbling a football ==

This is kind of a minor thing, but I wanted to suggest it here instead of just adding it, because every time I add something to a page on this site it gets deleted immediately as if to spite me. I want to add to the Remarks section the observation
:"Homestar is able to dribble a football as though it is a basketball, which is nearly impossible in reality due to its irregular shape and the comparatively lower pressure to which it is inflated."
It appears that the kinds of things that go in Remarks section are generally observations about continuity flaws and slight breaks from the way things work in reality, so I would say that this fits. Would anyone support my adding of this point? I contend that it's true; I've actually tried to dribble a football before and it usually just bounces off in some other direction, and not very far.

== Goof? Blacking out... ==

When Homestar is hanging upside-down, he says the blood is rushing to his head, and that he is blacking out. When the blood rushes to your head, you red out - not black out. Blacking out comes from the blood not reaching your head. (Lack of O2)
:Either way, I wouldn't so much call it a goof. More of a remark. Maybe they don't know about "red out". I myself have never heard it before people started making comments on it about this toon. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

::I know it, but the guy has made a good impact on this wiki. Why don't you guys think about it? :-) {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
:::While I have to thank you for your nice compliments, I seriously don't think I'm ready to become a sysop right now. Sysops are the guys that are always on HRWiki talk pages coming up with new ideas, discussing and later carrying out new projects. They're the guys that have to be able to talk calmly and rationally with vandals and people that don't always agree with their policies. They know the ins and outs of this Wiki, and they work hard at keeping the Wiki clean and functioning. While I may have created all those pages and made all those edits, I really feel that I'm just not experienced enough to be a sysop, and I truly don't know if I'll ever be, especially now that I don't have as much time to Wiki as I used to. I'm content with just working on the sidelines and doing my part to make this Wiki as good as it can be. Being a sysop would be majorly cool, but it's probably too much responsibility for a kid like me.

If we can't use all the images of the [[Original Book]], [[Strumstar Hammer]] or [[Sketchbook (museum)]] because, as you said, reproducing the images "is even more of a copyright violation than we normally do", why must we keep these images? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

hm...this page is lookin' funny...what's with the extra space behind the H*R link?

I'll give this a tweak. It could use a space under the photo I think.
[[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

:I think we might want to incorporate the subpage "Facts" from 'Tavi into a section onto the page itself. Also, we need to figure out what we are going to do with the "HomestarLinks" page that this page references. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:38, 4 Aug 2004 (MST)

Okeydokey. I'll go ahead and import the Facts page into Matt's page. If we wanna move, we can do it later, right?
Homestarlinks...yeah...is there some special MediaWiki links page format thinger? That'd probably be the best way to do it. [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 16:00, 4 Aug 2004 (AZ)

Hey Whats the Link to the movie, i cant find it anywhere? 9-15-04

What's the deal with someone baleeting the facts, they were actually there for a while then it just said the article was a stub. I put the facts just under the article, as I didn't want it lost. So, anyone know what happened? P.S I love Matt Chapman[[User:MJ|Of course this is from MJ]]

:Looking at the page history, it doesn't seem that they were ever there. Though we did talk about them... Nice work getting them over here.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:54, 4 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Inline refs ==

I've added the inline references back to the page. I should have put a note or something on here about them a while ago. Sorry about that. When M.J and I were drawing up the plans for this page a long time ago, I made her put all of those inline references in there. This was mostly because it would be so hard to confirm these hard to find facts. In fact, I really didn't even believe a few of them at first. Of course, this really only applies to this kind of page, where we are dealing with a real life person and can have a zero margin of error. If we decide that we really don't like them, I suppose we can hide them in the code with comment tags. (<nowiki></nowiki>)[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:27, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Wife ==
From [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]] commentary: 
MATT: So this was, uh, my wife Jackie and I, who was not my wife at the time, wrote this cartoon. 

MIKE: I thought you said "she's not your wife anymore." 

MATT: Who's no longer my wife. No, that's not true. 

Jackie is still his wife, at least up to the time that recorded this. Since we haven't heard anything to the contrary, it should be assumed that they are still together.--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 18:05, 4 Dec 2004 (MST)

:I understand it the same way that you do. Meaning: they are still married. (Mike was confused at mishearing Matt. Mike thought Matt said that he and Jackie were no longer married. This confused Mike because Matt and Jackie are ''still'' married. Matt confirms this in the next line.)[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:58, 8 Dec 2004 (MST)
::This conversation was months ago, but I wanted to go ahead and mention that Matt calls Jackie his wife on the ''[[Everything Else, Volume 1]]'' DVD, and is shown wearing a wedding band. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

== Swearing? ==

In the tastes like chicken interview, he says f***. Could he be losing his morals? [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]]

That is redicoulous. that was an interview, not on the official site. I have never heard him swear on the site, so he isn't losing his morals. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:21, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I agree with Rogue Leader. To me, showing morals isn't not swearing at all. It's knowing when and where it's appropriate. An interview is more or less casual conversation, in which case it's okay. On the site, though, it wouldn't be appropriate. I think the Brothers Chaps are showing MORE morals than most current Flash cartoonists by not resorting to bad language or gratutious violence to make their cartoons funny. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

He isnt loosing his morals thats insane but he dose seem to be the less, um you could say, kids oritented of the 2 a few times on comentairys they have said they restarted the comentairy because Matt swore or he cuts of befor cursing. -{{User:NOT Billy Bob Bob/sig}} 01:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

== Yoshi's Story ==

IMDB credits him as [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1480095/#actor1990 doing "various" voices on Yoshi's Story], but this seems unlikely to me, considering the game predates Homestar Runner (as we know it) by a few years. I also wonder about the "Thanks" allegedly credited to him in the 2000 film "George Washington". Anybody here know anything about this? - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 20:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

:[[Craig]] [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262432/fullcredits#producers is listed] as a producer for [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262432/ George Washington], so that seems likely. As for Matt's [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300682/fullcredits#cast listing] on [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300682/ Yoshi's Story], I guess it's possible, since he does do voices. Since it wouldn't have anything to do with Homestar Runner, I don't think it would matter what the date was. But it could just as easily be a fan who thought it sounded similar. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

:: I personally think that was either vandalism or a mistake. The game was made in Japan, and none of the voice acting that I recall in that game was in English (or Japanese, for that matter). I don't have any idea why they would have re-recorded the voices in the American version. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

:::A couple pieces of data: [http://www.mobygames.com/game/n64/yoshis-story/credits the credits] for ''Yoshi's Story'' from mobygames, and a [http://youtube.com/watch?v=W7tOGXoauoo YouTube video] of the ending — Matt Chapman isn't listed on either one. From the comments on the YouTube video,
<blockquote>
Where is Matt Chapman in the credits...he did some on the sounds and "voices", right?
:From what I remember from reading Wikipedia a few days back, Kazumi Totaka was the one who did the sounds and the "voices" in the game.
</blockquote>

== Broken Links ==

Several of the links to endnotes are broken, apparently because the sites hosting the articles have taken them down. [[User:76.114.206.220|76.114.206.220]] 03:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
:I found only one broken link, which I commented out so it won't appear for now. If anyone can find if that article moved somewhere else or summat, that'd be great. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

== Star Warped ==

It seems our favourite mad voice actor's had experience with editing Jedi Knight, and it's apparently carried over into more recent endevours...
I found this mod for Jedi Knight called Mechanics of the Force part 1 on Massassi.net (and another website that escapes me now, but had the level two years earlier, in '98), and you can find it here: http://www.massassi.net/levels/files/22.shtml. Incidentally, if you do have Jedi Knight, download that baby, it's great.
Now, I imagine you're thinking "Surely this can't be the same guy?" upon seeing the author's name, much like I did. But, if you do DL and play the level, you'll notice that not only does the author apparently provide his own voice acting, but does a damn fine job of it, too. Not a smoking gun, but there's more, in our favourite online cartoons:

[[current_status]]: Strong Bad, when running from Coach B and Zubs, makes the same footstep noises Kyle Katarn does when he walks. (There are also examples of a running-on-stone sound used all about the series, if I remember right.)

[[50_emails]]: Homestar types in 3TDted (or something like that) in an effort to delete an email. 3TD is the name of the main character in MotF. Coincidence?

Anyway, do all y'all reckon this is worth adding to various articles? [[User:Evil Egg|Evil Egg]] 13:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
